When I did a search on them, your name came up a lot as the "poster". It sounded like you had had success with them.

Jarrodophilus EPS is much less expensive and works great. Have a cousin using it and no noticable difference.

primal defense definately worked for me. when i had taken antibiotics for an ear infection i was left with a bacterial infection in my intestines and stomach. i lost 15 lbs and could not tolerate anything. after months of trying everything i came across primal, thankfully. i started out low then increased to the therapeutic dose of 12 per day for months. my condition improved noticably and i know it was from the primal. i continue to take it daily. it is expensive but it has and still continues to help me.

One vote yes and one vote no.

silver, how long have you been on it and are you a C or a D? How many do you take a day now?

But I'd probably pay it if it worked. I've blown so much money already. But like I said, one HFS says it the best thing for IBS, another referred to it as the Garden of Lies. Another said all their IBS customers swear by it...another told me that Jordan Rubin is getting sued, that it isn't even his before picture on his Patient heal thyself book, and the store will no longer carry his products.

Did you mean your sister IS taking this and isn't noticing any difference? Does she have IBS too? C or D?

Like I said, perhaps with the C? I had so much wrong with my poor bod back then And I was STILL on antibiotics! i would have to try em' again to know for sure.

What are you wanting to use them for? If you haven't tried probiotics...maybe go with a cheaper brand to start? I hear PB or something with a P and a B in it is good. If you HAVE tried probiotics and didn't have success, personally, I wouldn't spend the money. Just my 2 C's! *hugs* Beth!

and don't think either helps with bloat, gas or the consipation for me.

I would want to try them for all of the above, but especially the Constipation.

Do you take a probiotic ruchie?

what did you mean by "the C?"

By the C i meant constipation!

how much is Primal Defense aagin?

Do you have a juicer Beth? This has helped me more than anythig...and eating LOTS of babyfood. I have mostly regular BM';s now (unless Ig et hidden gluten!)

Aplle cranberry juice, celery carrot juice, beet juice (when I can afford em!)oooooh! How yummy! I would try that before a probiotic. But of course...we are all so different. I don't take them. BUT I think I have a yeast infection so I may very well begin taking one soon IF you can afford Prinmal Defense...what do you have to lose/ But you and I BOTH don't have much in finances! have you a juicer? If you do...use it! If not...how much is the cheapest? I think Elizabeth was considering one...you might want to post her for the best deal on them. Also...can you eat soy? If you CAN I would get soy yogurt with acidopholus and eat it up as much as you can a day. It is LIVE cultures...the best you can do imo (I can't do soy...but if I could I'd be eating that stuff 3 times a day to get my acidophilus in!)

Sorry if I'm not much help

Love ya,
Ruch

i had major d with mucous and cramping. the PD helped to solidify and restore my good bacteria. i have done many searches on the web and in books and found more good news about PD then bad. i guess it all depends on your symptoms though.
