Priobiotic Recomendations?

Hi guys -- been a long time since I've been on the site, but I still know where to come when I need answers!  Thank you all for being here.....It's been just over a year and a half since I had my 'revision' that ended up with my losing my stomach completely, and while living without a stomach has its challenges daily, for the most part I'm doing well.

I just had a talk with Dr Roslin to discuss an issue I'm having that is increasing, and he urged me to start taking both pepcid, and a pro-biotic.  The priobiotic is to help with the gas and smell issue -- does anyone have a brand / type that they recommend highly for this issue?

I appeciate any suggestions -- thanks all.

Hugs,

Nannette

Hi Nan

I was severely lactose intolerant right out the gate after DS surgery.  I am 3 years post-op now and I am slightly lactose intolerant.  I take Digestive advantage lactose formula every AM, and I have just added the bloating and gas Digestive Advantage in afternoon. 

I find that whey protein causes me alot of gas and syntrac whey isolates is less gass producing.  I still do the Champion whey anyhow when I know I am staying home for the day because it is good protien and I do syntrax when I know I won't be home. 

I eat most of my protien but I have to eat all day and with DS you go through spells even 3 yrs out where you do not want to look at or touch food lol. 

I would also like to see what others are taking and if anyone uses those probiotics from Sams Club.

I use Phillips Colon Health probiotics.  Get them at Wal-Mart or Costco.  They work good for me.

Thank you Brenda and Carla -- will check out.

Nannette, I like the Renew Life product.  They come in various strengths.  Walgreen's has been having an extended sale on them for a while...

I use the CVS generic version of Align.  Twice a day.  I can tell a difference when I take it or not.  The CVS generic is a capsule and the Walgreens is a tablet.  I do not feel that I get as much out of the Walgreens as I do the CVS.  They have it every other week or so, BOGO.
