UC - and the specific carbohydrate diet contradiction

[Guest guest]

Thanks Bonnie for the reply---I do agree about the probiotic addition to the

oral intake of nutritives. One was Flora-Stor which helped for awhile then we

found out about

Ultra Flora IB--made specifically for ulcerative colitis ( I heard the

Pharmacist from NY on the radio about it one day). One must be consistent with

it thought and with the research med. that she is on, I don't know if it is

interfering or not. The Flora Stor works wonders with other intestinal

problems, one of which is Candida.

Also I appreciate all the other info you gave me. I know some of it has not

been attempted by her. I will give her this when I see her on Tues. If anyone

else has more actions they have taken that have been successful I would also

appreciate hearing about them too. Thanks again Bonnie

Fran: here's more -- different parts of the colon wall seem to

attract DIFFERENT pathogenic colonies. This is why a one-size

marketing approach such as " XYZ probiotic cures UC " is actually

incorrect, and of course the marketing speak doesn't address that all

they have is one hammer when you need a varied approach for each

colony/location. I think that's why a probiotic blend is better.

 

Still, the probiotics fluorish when they are fed inulin, so when one

is using the inulin, if one used a bottle of probiotic up pretty

fast, not three caps at a time but like 20, which people on

candidasis are getting results with, and after a couple of bottles,

switching probiotics will often produce the result, as you intimated.

 

Consistent applications aren't required; marketing speak just doesn't

allow for the power of a synbiotic approach. Using inulin you're

growing way more probiotics than you'd ever take in capsules, and the

active culture sticks to the bowel wall, which they have a hard time

doing if they aren't being fed to keep them active.

 

The research indicates two weeks of inulin will make bifidobacteria

dominant, and practice indicates a month or two even without a

probiotic capsule will change ecology pretty thoroughly even in a

bowel disease condition. Again, hitting that pathogen where it sits

might be key so different bifidobacteria and lactobacilli starter

cultures might be very, very useful.
