Question by Strifelok: can probiotics cure yeast infection?

Best answer:

Answer by Matt
Potentially, I’m not a doctor but in theory they can. Probiotics introduces more competition in the intestinal tract which takes away from other microbes being more prominent. Note though that this solution takes a lot of time and will not always be successful.

An anti-fungal would be speedier although they’re not the best for your body.

Question by filiplevaic: Can 3×600 mg(10 days in row) and fast food together damage intestine microflora and kills probiotics?
Hi!
I had acute gastritis in July 2007..and I was ok until April 2008.. Before that I went to McDonalds almost every day(period from February to April 2008) and I took this Ibuprofen for 10 days(3×600mg every day,for 10 days in row).. I think this combination of drugs and fast food damaged my microflora and killed good bacteria,and that is why I feel nausea in lower part of stomach..Hope my english fine

It does not appear that your intestinal flora has been disturbed,otherwise it would have resulted in loose motions.Ibuprofen is a non steroidal anti inflammatory – analgesic agent & is soft on stomach.You have taken the optimal dose and howsoever well tolerated drug it may be,it is bound to cause some gastric intolerance in such a high dose and irritate the gastric mucosa,specially if taken before meals.As a result you are feeling nausea as a side effect which will disappear with in a couple of days after stopping the therapy.Take curd or yogurt to implant the good bacteria.If feeling very uncomfortable,take one tab.of domperidone once a day for 2-3 days.Your english is fine and so is your stomach.

Question by rz: I have very bad smelling gas. What’s the deal?? Do I need probiotics?
Ever since I’ve been married I have had mind blowing bad smelling gas. I thought it might be my birthcontrol so I’m off of that (1 and a half weeks). I am a vegetarian and eat pretty much all veggie and lentils etc. I eat whole grain pastas, yogurt, milk and cereals. I have been eating yoplait yo every moring to try to get things going. I don’t really “go” in quality amounts…I only go once a day. It seems like coffee is the only thing that can really get me to go. I drink plenty of water and exercise. I thought that since I smell sooooo bad( very sulfery and hot sorry kinda gross) maybe there is a bacterial imbalance. What do I do!? I’m making my husband mad it’s not funny anymore!
I didn’t start eating letils until recently..so it’s something else…Obviously the things that make it worse are when I eat broc., cauliflower and red peppers but that makes the normal bad smell even worse…

It’s the lentils, darling! Haven’t you ever heard that about lentils? Probably the worst thing to eat if you don’t want gas!

Question by Jessica: My son is 17 months and a natural doctor wants him to take probiotics. Are they ok for little ones?
He got a double dose of immunizations (because he missed a dose), and he’s been running a low grade fever on and off even though the shots were given over 2 weeks ago.
I heard taking alot of pills can damage your kidneys, does that apply to natural pills too and will it affect him?
Wow! You guys have been a great help. Thank you so much. My mom raised me to be skeptical about all “natural” things So I’m trying to break that teaching and not be afraid to keep my son healthy

Question by T: Would you shop at an herbal mart that didn’t refrigerate a probiotics that should be?
Some were refrigerated, but the brand I bought wasn’t. Previously when I purchased that brand at another store, they were refrigerated. They said I could return them, but would you consider the rest of their products questionable, i.e. temperature in the store at night and stuff?
I called Renew Life’s customer service line and they said they are supposed to be refrigerated, but maybe the store sells them so quickly that they aren’t on the shelf long.
It’s not a true herbal mart with glass jars They have a lot of vitamins, supplements and prepackaged herbs and powders. The store is mostly windows facing west in Dallas where it’s 100+ degrees right now. The store was a comfortable temp, but they had the door propped open. Maybe I’m being a snob, but it wasn’t anything fancy at all, just a mom and pop store.

Best answer:

Answer by YA
yes, as long as I’m not buying the probiotics.
