I use a product called Biolive. It's a liquid and can be used to repopulate your gut with good bacteria. They also do a product to thin mucous called Breathease which I'm thinking of buying for my husband who has severe emphysema.
Go to your local library and take out or order I contain multitudes by Ed Yong. The Gut by Guilsborough Enders and while your at it The end of illness Dr Agus. Read with a dictionary and an open mind to hand.
Yes, plus a healthy gut flora helps enormously in maintaining a strong immune system to combat day to day bugs.
I'm sure my daily dose of live yogurt and a capsule of probiotic (& I'm not talking about those expensive, waste of money sweet little drinks) is helping me to stay as well as can be.
I'm with you on that one Jeff. I have a bio-live, full-fat plain yoghurt every day. I read recently that more of the good bacteria survive in the stomach if you have bio-live yoghurt than taking them in capsule form. I also have a daily pre-biotic.
Doctors should encourage patients to take probiotics when they give out prescriptions for antibiotics.
I just looked up Bio Live, very interesting. I'll recommend the Infant Goo to my children for their babies.
Luckily it was a good GP over 30 years ago who told me to always use acidophilus with & after antibiotics (wonder what kind of a wreck I'd be if I hadn't listened)!
Which prebiotic do you use please? I'm about to buy Inulin.
