Hi all,
I am on a course (1-2 month) of doxycycline for lyme disease and I need to take high doses of probiotics. I have d-lactate free probiotics by custom probiotics which I think is a good product. It has a high concentration in it. Whenever I take it I feel horrible though-I get all puffy and sluggish. This is why I couldn't handle taking this product before, and happen to still have a lot in my freezer. I have sibo so I have to stay away from d-lactate if possible. I am trying to avoid probiotics with acidophilus. In the past I seem to have tolerated bifidus okay and Culturelle, whatever that is. Should I take high doses of those instead? I am taking charcoal for the die-off, which helps only to a certain extent. Should I continue this? Or is the fact that I feel bad a sign I should switch to something else? BTW my lower gut phenotype is high prevotella and e. coli, low bacterioids.
Thanks
Liz
