If you are using the rife machine for h.pylori (676) and parasites (72, 120) for five minutes each daily for one week, will it cause diarrhea?
Don't know if I should continue or not, and that may not be why I have "D". It could be from using generic Prevacid changed from Nexium. I was trying to think of all the things I did different. I'm also trying to stop the PPI's.
I did have the virus or whatever was going around, but the "D" seems to linger on and on. So, I had it when I started rifing for h.pylori and parasites, and now I don't know if I should continue as I think these bugs may be the reason it continues.
I started taking Phillips Colon Health Probiotics. Had been taking Align (which is terribly expensive). Both have different strains of bacteria.
Anyone have any idea? Have had diarrhea for several weeks, but I feel fine. Went to my family doctor who said not to take Imodium because she feels it should run it's course from having the virus. I do drink lots of drinks with extra potassium/sodium, plus water so as not to get dehydrated.
Anyone else have this problem? Should I quit rifing for parasites/h. pylori? D. bergy, are you there?
Thanks

You should maybe get your stool tested for c diff. Are you or habe you been on antibiotics recently? Even if you have been off for awhile you can still get c diff. C diff is a very serious and contagious infection. Good luck

What else is in the Phillips besides probiotics? That could be it .. or the Prevacid.
Stop the rifing for a day or two and then if it continues, stop the Prevacid for a day or two and then the Phillips for a day or two in order to see which it is that's causing trouble.
PS.. Can you take the Nexium the days you are off the Prevacid? I don't mean for you to do without. Ask your dr first.

I think the Phillips is working, but I also quit the PPI's. Have been taking them too long, I think. I will try just ACV and see if I can get by with that whenever acid reflux strikes. Don't want C. diff., and hope I don't have it.
Lymetoo, Phillips Colon Health Probiotic has l.5 billion cells (Lactobacillus gasseri, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium longum). I'm reading that these are the bacteria that help regulate digestion. It did seem to work for me. No more "D".
Longterm, I don't know, so I'm not going to say too much. Too soon to tell. Just been a few days.
Maybe, my insides just needed to settle down, I don't know, but whatever it was, I thank you all.
