MDS is Doubling down on nutrition and lifestyle

[LeharLover62]

We just had an appointment with hubby’s MDS this week. This dr has always been a keto diet advocate, but he’s now added a whole nutritional and lifestyle program to his practice. Some things they are recommending and help with include:

- A gut biome and probiotic program. Primarily centered around PS128, FOS and fiber.

-keto diet plus IF. He’s big on using Apple Cider Vinegar prior to each meal as well.

- intense exercise if you are able (if not, try the fir sauna)

-Custom made ketogenic shakes. They include various supplements (betaine , turmeric, MCT oil, etc) and you can purchase them (frozen) every few weeks.

- more time in sunlight and try FIR sauna with red light panels. Clients can pay for a sauna package and come in for regular sessions.

It’s a lot to process, but given how awful my hubby’s condition is at this point, I think we’ll amp up what we’re already doing in all of these areas and see if he can improve. The Dr. Thought as much as 20% might be possible, whereas adding an antipsychotic would be more like 5%,

Good luck and let us know how it goes. 🥊

This is encouraging. All the best as you make changes.

seems very sensible. Nice to see some doctors aren’t just pushing drugs.

Thank you very much for sharing. Lifestyle change is key to slowing down progression.

Worth a shot! How much apple cider vinegar does he recommend before each meal?

[LeharLover62 in reply to keri10]

He recommends 1 tablespoon mixed with a glass of water 10-20 minutes prior to every major meal. If it isn’t feasible, eat a pickle or lots of lemon with water.

I am glad your doctor supports a more holistic approach to health.

Thank you for this wonderful information. I has been on ps128 alone for a few months. Initially it helped a bit, but then stopped so I discontinued. I then started Yakul, which helped a bit more hhan ps 128.. I also had added 1 serving of fermented food a day...the grand outcome is I'm still fighting constipation.

Hello, Can you share the GUT BIOME, and PROBIOTIC program your husband was put on ? Thanks !

[LeharLover62 in reply to KERRINGTON]

sure! A few weeks on PS128 (or Florastor s. boulardii is cheaper) to kill the bad bacteria. Then start 1tsp (Now naturalflora) FOS per day. Then start psyllium husk for additional fiber with additional water.

He’s been on this for about 2 months and his constipation is substantially better…..he no longer needs the Miralax.

[KERRINGTON in reply to LeharLover62]

Hi ! How can I tell when the bad bacteria is dead ? I've been on Florastor for about 9 days. Thanks

I’m not finding Now Naturalflora online but many other of their probiotics and enzymes. Can you please clarify which one?

I just ordered Florastar. Your post is really helpful. Thank you so much!

[LeharLover62 in reply to Little_apple]

Hm. Well any FOS I think? (Fructooligosaccharides). We are using the Now NutraFlora FOS but it can be another brand.

[Little_apple in reply to LeharLover62]

Thank you for explaining what FOS meant. I am now reading about it. And I found the NOW form. Thank you so much!

[Smittybear7 in reply to Little_apple]

How do you use ps128? Where can you get it? What is FOS? Thanks for your help.

[LeharLover62 in reply to Smittybear7]

We just order Florastor supplements on Amazon. The active ingredient needs to be Saccharomyces Boulardii .

We also use Now brand nutraflora FOS from Amazon. Mix 2tsp with a drink in the evening.

Hi, how are things since you started the new regime ?
