I just started with a new LLMD. He changed all my probiotics, saying I wasn't on enough.

I am taking Theralac, VSL#3 and S. boulardi.

Since starting these I am having low intestinal cramps, no diaherra, just pain. I know I have yeast, so I am hoping it might just be the bad bugs being killed off and my intestines being balanced.

Is this typical for switching to Theralac, or should I be concerned?

Changes in meds include starting Plaquenil and Zith...all low doses right now. I am also taking Tindamax.

Thanks

Tindamax gave me stomach probs. Theralac is great, though I was under the impression S. Boulardii is usually taken for diarrhea, not as a prophylactic but I could be wrong. It's strong stuff and might be creating some GI havoc. Take care!

Were you on VSL#3 before? It's a very, very strong probiotic, so if it's new, you probably need to ramp up.

Zith is notoriously hard on the stomach, too.

Hi six no I wasn't on VSL#3 before. I guess I will slow it down a bit.

I'm pm'g you.
