Hit Onederland and Probiotics Question

Good or bad, I weighed in at 198 today!

But have had diarreha since last Thursday.  Surgeon recommended that I start taking Culturelle (an all natural probiotic with  Lactobacillus GC), which is supposedly one of the better probiotics.

Was also encouraged to eat oatmeal to aid in keeping things together.

While I have not been getting all my fluid requirements in during the past four days, I have been getting 40 ozs and plus protein shakes.

If things aren't better in two days, I have to have the test for C-diff. 

If it's one thing, it's another.

Congratson your weightloss! I take probiotics. Not sure if it'll help with diarrhea but it keeps me pretty regular and my tummy feeling good!

Thanks, Nicole.

This poopin stuff is for the birds.

Had a test this morning to see if I have c-diff.

Sounds like staying on probiotics is a good thing.

I take probiotics everyday. Yes Culturelle is one of the better ones. I would also recommend the c-diff test!

Alice,

Thanks for the info.

I did have the c-diff test and it came back negative.

PCP's opinion is to stay on the probiotics and avoid dairy products (which I have not been using any dairy other than what's in the protein I use).

Back to the drawing board.
