Re: Bad water ???
I'll keep my eye open for Yakult. I know I have seen it somewhere, but I don't immediately recall where.I'll also look into ProBiotics.
Odd that the Dr has never mentioned these things.
Whatever is going on with my gut, it has progressively gotten much, much worse. Normal people have many minutes warning that they need to use W.C. Not me. At best I have 2 or 3 minutes warning. But, too often only 4 or 5 seconds warning. When going outside the apartment, I dare not eat a single thing. For example, if I am going to the doctors office, I dare not eat a single thing for 16 hours. This disease has taken total control over my life.

Perhaps because he is not making any money out of them if you can buy your own without prescription?
Live yoghurts could also help, but they have got to be 'LIVE.' I would personally go for the probios though, as even in yoghurts, there is nowhere near the amount of bacteria a concentrated probiotic will give you.
Good luck.

There's a thread on here somewhere about pump inhibitors by Azz. I'll try to find it.
Tess, may I ask how long you had been on the Omeprazole before your tummy troubles started please?

Doctors didn't tell her this, a hospital dietician did and she put her on a yeast free,low sugar diet for 12 weeks. At the end of that period she was cured!
The only two purposes of yeast is to (A) cause the dough to rise AND (B) to wake up the good bacteria in the flour and give it a fantastic flavor. Once it has done it's job, it dies.
Gluten, however, is present in most flour types.. It is well known that some people can develop a gluten intolerance. They claim it takes 12 weeks for the body to rid itself of gluten.
Horrible thought that I might have to give up bread, pastas, crackers, muffins, cakes, pies and a host of other items that contain hidden gluten.

Don't worry if you have to give up your favourite foods for 12 weeks & have to reduce the amount you eat in future because, you may lose a few pounds, not have the runs & you can still eat rice cakes!
You know how to cook so invent a few recipes where rice is your main source of carbohydrate!
