Probiotic help, please
I am 5 and a half years post-DS, maintaining a 100 pound weight loss. Up until now, I've never taken probiotics, never thought it necessary.
For about the past 2 months, I am up every night, like clockwork, at 2:30AM. On the toilet for hours. Sorry if this is TMI, but I need some relief. I need sleep!
Is this where probiotics come in? I have tried changing what I eat and when. I'm very comfortable going to sleep at around 9:30-10:00, only to wake a few hours later with severe urgency.
- Any feedback? Suggestions??
I can have that pattern if I have a few glasses of wine or other alcohol before going to bed. Sugar in the evening or as dessert will also set up the 2 am problem. I haven't found probiotics help, but you might step up your consumption of yogurt or kefir (sugar free). It is an alternative to dessert. A very high fat meal, like fried chicken, will also wake me up in the middle of the night. It's a bit of trial and error.
