At what point do you suggest they taper off or discontinue a probiotic?

Thanks for sharing your experience, Jolie. What probiotic are you using?

This was not the case prior to using the probiotic. I am sold on them and my bum is happier too. = )

Wow…you really have been through quite a bit. I don’t have an ileo-cecal valve either. A major risk factor for SIBO—so get checked out! Best to you!

So happy I found your blog. 8 months ago I had an appendectomy, and they messed something up during that surgery and I ended up having another surgery for mesenteric ischemia 3 weeks later ! They took out 2&1/2 feet of my ileum, and illeocecal valve because it was necrotic. I had the c.diff infection from all the antibiotics I was on, and Now I have bile acid malabsorption and pretty sure I have SIBO, cause I can’t even eat any leafy greens (spinach, kale) and I can’t eat any nuts or seeds without running to the restroom within an hour! (Which sucks because I was a vegetarian prior to the surgery). I’ve been trying to get my gut bacteria healthy the natural way….. but it’s a process. Thank you did all the research you do and time you put into your blogs ! You really help so much.

I found it helpful, it apparently survives the acid in your gut.
Also I have read kefir is better than all supplements.
