Saturday night I had to go to the emergency room with extreme pain. I have Cellulitus for the third time in a month and now it is in my LEFT leg instead of the right leg.
Because I am taking a course of antibiotics for the third time I am ordered to have probiotic yogurt.
So Pam, my question is could you suggest a way I can do my Cambridge but also comply with the doctor's mandate. I did buy some probiotics at $17.00 a box plus some " gut bacteria friendly" Kimshee, Saukraut, and artichokes.
The doctor told me I could get really sick if my gut bacteria is completely obliterated so I must comply with her orders.
So Pam my question is could you suggest a way I can incorporate my Cambridge into a meal plan that includes probiotic food. I'll ask the doctor is O can back to SS on Wednesday. Thank you.
Sorry to hear that MaryL. There will be a time when you will no longer be tormented by this.
Did your Dr tell you to go off Cambridge?
I've had many clients in the past with recurrent cellulitis and they only used pro-biotic capsules. Along with those yogurts comes a lot of sugars and sweeteners that can contribute to fungal/yeast/gut overgrowth. I believe you are better off with the supplements as long as they are strong, and the food options you mentioned are all fine too as long as there are no added sugars. Ideally you want traditionally fermented.
The problem is that just about anything you do while you are on the anti-biotics will be killed off so you will need to continue to treat for some time once you are done with them. Repopulating gut flora is a project.
With that said, while I believe you are on the right track. I can't tell you to go against your Dr's orders, but I can support you in making your own educated decisions where your health is concerned.
