Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by 2010 FYRE & REIGN: I have 3 dogs, they all eat the same foods but one’s poop smells FAR worse than the other 2 dogs; why?
It seems like a weird thing but since I’m the one doing poop duty in the yard, I know. He otherwise seems VERY healthy. Should I get him some probiotics or something? Or is it just something I need to live with?

Dogs are individuals. Each dog may respond differently. I’ve heard of many cases where each dog had their own food. You may want to consider changing his diet, he may have a sensitive stomach or it could be the age. Or it could be possible he’s taking in more foreign objects that you may not see.

Question by Just Win Baby: I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, does it lead to Erectile dysfunction as well?? both came at the same time.?
During this these past 3yrs, I have the expierenced the cause of and symptoms of IBS and I’m tired of it. During this span I have experienced some form of ED as well. I have 3 doctors visits with no results of improvement to stop this. I do believe it is chiefly caused to Stress that I believe Im not aware about in my life AND due to a long term physicological situation that I have dealing with over the last 3yrs – where I may have some form of depression over it, inside me. So, If I have clearly have IBS, is it possible it has effected other main areas of my body as well? Due to my ED situation as well? I am 38 yrs old.

Question by Babigyrl: Do Feminine Probiotics work the same as regular Probiotics?
I’m on antibiotics and my Dr suggested I either eat lots of yogurt or take a probiotic to keep from getting a yeast infection. Although I love yogurt I can’t see myself eating it constantly. So researching probiotics online I noticed there are Feminine Probiotics and regular. The regular target the immune system and intestinal health while the feminine kind (such as RePhresh) target feminine health. I’m trying to figure out if I can take regular (less expensive) probiotics and still have the same effect. Please help.

The “Feminine Probiotics” are basically the strains that live and thrive in the vaginal cavity… they are more commonly recommended for specific vaginal issues. You can use those for better defense against yeast infections, but you can get a similar effect from the “regular Probiotics”.
Simply put, the Probiotics help to hold the bad stuff (yeast, bacteria, and other growths) at bay so that they aren’t able to grow too much (eg. yeast overgrowths, yeast infections, etc). The antibiotic will kill off most of the bacteria (both good and bad), so you’ll definitely want to take something (which I’m glad your doctor recommended)… the “Feminine” ones would work faster and better in the vagina, but a good high dose of the “regular” ones would be sufficient unless you start getting yeast infections right away. It’s kind of a confusing issue, but I hope I helped!
