Is it me or Bifido?

It´s me again with a strange question. I´ve been taking bifido since 2 weeks now. I started off with very small amounts and increased gradually. I have the feeling that my bladder is able to handle a lot of it but lately I´m just so sad. Now I´m wondering if it´s the bifido that makes me cry or my partner´s behaviour. I just feel so extremely emotional. Many things he says make me cry or the fact that he needs his own space leaves me feeling lonely. I´m not recognizing myself anymore. Did anybody experience something similar with bifido? The emotional roller coaster? If it´s only the bifido it will hopefully pass. But what if it´s my real me telling me that this partner is not the right one for me?

Hello,
Since I was in a horrible 30 year marriage that should have ended before it started, I'm always scared of telling someone that I'm sure this guy is really wonderful.  What I can tell you, which may be o f no help, I've felt the way you're feeling many times with a man who I know is wonderful and I love with all my heart. (five years ago got rid of the jack ass that I was married to)  One week I've loved him, the next week he just plain pisses me off.  While I don't know if it's the Bifido, I do know that pro-biotics can do all sorts of strange things.  I had to go off of Digesta Lac because my anixiety went off the charts.  I've really tried not to make any big decisions without spending time trying to meditate myself into a space of knowing that I'm finally hearing my inner voice - sometimes not easily done.
Take Care,

Annika,
PM me if you want to talk about boys :) I dated a ton when I was your age and have some very stong opinions on this. If he is "needing space", he is probably not worth you spending so much time worry about. Focus on your own healing and your blossoming life and he will come around if he is the right one for you. I hate to say this because it sounds so cliched and I might get slammed for it, but men don't like "Needy" women. They like independent women that they have to work a little to get. Men are all fiercely competative. It is just their nature. They like the chase. I am not saying be manipulative. I am saying prioritize yourself and spend time with your friends and family and blow him off once in a while and he will come around. 
Just my 2cents. The probios might be increasing your anxiety and emotions, but that is a separate issue from your relationship IMO.

Annika, I think Mimi is right. I don't know your boyfriend and maybe he is a very good person, but with mine, I have go throught more difficult situations (Life/dead kind), and never have this kind of "problems" you describe in some of your posts. Sometimes the "I need my own space" It's an excuse like " we are friends", because the man is not really into you, or something. But only couples know the things of their own. If you feel that he is not by your side in this, stop the relationshp. Always better alone than in bad company. Biffidos don't do this things to people.
Kisses

Hey Annika.  Bifido works in the large intestine.  If you Google large intestine and Chinese Medicine, you'll see that the large intestine also correlates with the emotion of grief in chinese medicine.  When I first went on Bifido, I felt very sad and grief-stricken for absolutely no reason at all.  But when we finally got my doses to a better level, these feelings went away.  Emotions can definitely be related to our guts!

Hi Tinkerbell,
I too have found this to be so true.  It is also not such a great feeling to know that trusting your "gut" isn't as easy as one would hope - shakes the self-confidence a bit.  I do find the saying of "trusting your gut" a bit interesting.  Sorry, 3:00 in the morning - need to go back to bed.  Anyway, I try not to make quick rash decisions these days.  Take Care.

Sort  of related- i am reading a book about Heart coherance training- it is ba type of bio-feedback/mediatation. Anyway- they talk a lot about "following the heart" and the heart intelligence. Maybe that is what we need to be focusing on!

Not super. Stopped working 7 months ago and it hasn't helped like I thought or hoped. Just status quo. Blah.

Sam, I'm so sorry you are struggling.  I feel like one of the hardest things about this treatment is not being able to predict how and in what amount of time things will start to feel better.  I was doing so well for a few months, but the last six weeks I've been in an ongoing flare.  I never saw it coming.  I know it will end eventually and I will get back on track, but not knowing when is a real challenge to my peace of mind.

Hi Sam,
My daughter (who has IC as well) stopped working from a very stressful job almost a year ago and felt the same with her symptoms not improving. But just this last week she is seeing
some improvement. She can't seem to get off list
2 but is finally seeing more stability in her bladder. I pray you will see some improvement
soon dear.

Hi Sam! Are you treating with Dr. Brizman?
Lisa Ann, I did not know you were feeling poorly! Are you trying to add in something new? What does Dr. Brizman say? I had a rocky few weeks getting off one protocol and on to another one but it seems to finally be making a big difference. Keep us posted!!!
