Clostridium Butyricum - A Game Changer?

[douglasmich]

For me, it took about four months for gastroparesis to clear after taking CB for a few weeks.

How did you eat?

I only took it for 2 days. I have no eaten in 24 hours and water is still making me nauseous. Absolute disaster

Seems to me that the safest approach might be to supplement with a probiotic that competes with CB. I can't really think of one off hand though. Maybe someone else has some input they can offer.

I took 6 pills 2 hours ago.

am praying that the CB caused this because if i have ANOTHER problem i am screwed.

From what some of the others of us experienced I'd say it is pretty likely because of CB. I took 1/24th of the dose you took and still got gastroparesis. I was able to slowly get over it by eating tiny amounts of things I knew I digested easily. For me, it took about 2 weeks to get over it. Good luck with this.

Thanks guys, will update later if i recover. For now im fasting on juice and honey, even that is giving me nausea.

Also doing 2g ginger a day because its apparently an antiemetic. I also started some oregano oil to kill off some bacteria

 

[JPV]

The Ginger should help a lot with the nausea too.

I ate tiny amounts of tolerable foods like white rice and vegetable soup.

@Sidereal, rereading older parts of this thread, I came across this post you made...

I was doing great on CB for a few weeks and then it hit me out of nowhere. It felt like my entire GI tract had just stopped moving. Developed gastroparesis which lasted a few weeks. It all cleared up with small doses of brown algae but until it did it was a bloody nightmare.

Do you think it might be worth it for @douglasmich to try brown algae to help with his gastroparesis?

 

[Sidereal]

I wouldn't risk it. Brown algae helped me the first time I had GP but the second time the algae made things a lot worse. His condition sounds pretty serious. Probably best to consult a doctor instead of an internet forum.

S. boulardii?

Coconut oil helped me best when I had CB induced gastroparesis. The negative effects of CB did improve after I stopped, so I doubt other probiotics would be of much help unless CB has established persistence.

Anyway, this is exactly why I posted the warning here few days ago.

 

[Sidereal]

This thread is full of warnings about CB-induced gastroparesis. At least half a dozen people have reported this problem.

Perhaps @adreno could edit the bottom of his OP to include a warning about possible gastroparesis?

That can't be edited anymore.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about the time limit. That's too bad.

If you want to add something, adreno, let me know and I can insert it into your OP.

You're welcome to insert a note if you want. Personally, I haven't experienced anything close to constipation from it.

 

[douglasmich]

I think some people here are confusing colonic inertia with gastroparesis

Gastroparesis = stomach not emptying causing nausea/vomiting

Colonic inertia = everything works expect for large intestine.

Before i took CB i had colonic inertia so i did enemas 3x a week because without id probably go a month without a BM and end up in ER.

After CB i had this condition combined with gastroparesis which I've never had in my life (Usually always hungry )

Im juice fasting now and taking high dose oregano oil. All self inflicted by being impatient. I was frustrated with my illness i guess.

Also coconut oil is contraindicated with GP because fats slow stomach emptying

 

[douglasmich]

Okay so ive been taking 40 drops a day of oregano oil (600-800mg) and drinking juice and having white rice. Seem to be slowly recovering. won't eat meat until im 100% sure

 

[ruben]

If CB causes constipation then is it very unwise to take it if you already have this tendency? Also, are there any probiotics which tend to alleviate constipation. Surely common sense would suggest that anyone with this problem should take this kind of probiotic. But it's never that straight forward is it.

 

[douglasmich]

I spoke to someone that cured their constipation on CB when every other probitoic made them worse. That is why i tried it.

I am now fully recovered. Fasting and high dose oregano did the drug.
