Default Acidophilus is Amazing

I am slowly restructuring my eating habits and beginning to use supplements. Basically due to a bad yeast overgrowth which i have had for 9plus years. I realized after i had seen my stomach measurements go from the longtime average of 48inches to 53 recently, that i had to do something.

I talked to the nutritionist at the local health food store. She is aware of my financial restraints and recommended taking acidophilus immediately as a step down the road to healthier living.

I did this since the 10 day supply of the pills was only 5$ (i got a discount since a friend works there *shhhh*) my last dosage is today. And as of this morning my stomach measurements are now 50 inches as opposed to 53 inches.

I havent yet started on induction as i am pacing myself to quit other addictions (caffiene & smoking) which sabotage past attempts. But the acidophilus pills have done very well.

i also plan on using organic apple cider vinegar (2TBSP a day) to further assist the probiotics.

hopefully within the next couple weeks i can wrestle with cafiene and smoking. week 1 was alcohol. which is completed.

Question Re: Acidophilus is Amazing

Hi Nem,

I was just wondering what Acidophilus is for? Is it specifically for treatment of yeast or a supplement??

Default Re: Acidophilus is Amazing

thanx for the encouragement everyone.

acidophilus is a probiotics supplement it basically puts good bacteria in your stomah that helps with reducing bad bacteria or fungus(yeast) in the body. you take it for yeast infections and after long use of antibiotics.

another thing to try is taking 2-4 Tbsps of Organic Apple cider vinegar daily which kills the bacteriaand yeast in conjunction with the acidophilus
