Hello peoples....
I had taken about two and a half weeks of my regular supplements (which included one of each pro) because I was sick with a cold and taking other stuff Matia told me to take.
Last thursday I took a normal dose because I finally felt a well enough, and two hours later I was SO sick. I threw up everything in my stomach, and kept throwing up until I was dry heaving. I emailed M that I thought I was getting the flu, and she told me what to take and to stop all other stuff. After laying down most the day, by evening I didn't feel like throwing up anymore, was hungry, but just felt really blah. I thought that it was funny it didn't last longer, because when I get the flu, I get the flu! So I thought it was food poisoning. I felt AWFUL.
So I avoided taking anything all weekend for whatever reason (I guess I was scared that it could have been my supplements), and this morning took a dose of everything. Well two hours later I am puking my guts out. It was a terrible day.
I emailed Matia but haven't heard back. Any insight? The pros were not floating, mixed right into the water. Has anyone dealt with something like this?
Have to say, I have been struggling so much. I am so discouraged, and this is just icing on the cake of late.
I meant "off" my regular supplements....
: )
Sick
How strange. Are the probiotics new bottles? Maybe there is something wrong with them. Have you taken the same probiotics previously?
No they
No they are not new bottles... the same ones I was taking for months. I've been on all the pros well over a year.
Matia emailed back and says she thinks it is die off! And to lessen it over three days to build it back up. I honestly am scared to take anything and I don't know what to do. I can't take care of my child and be that sick. I already had to have my husband come home from work the first day, and my mother in law come over yesterday I was so sick. Ugh...
oh
oh ((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))) I'm sure you'll be ok if you build it up slowly.
That sounds horrible, sorry
That sounds horrible, sorry to hear that. My herbs & pros always float though before they start to sink. Maybe they went bad?
Or maybe it is just die-off and since you were off everything and then got back on the doses were just to high.
Are you taking them with meals? Maybe the doses are just to much for your stomach right now.
When I tried to increase my pros, I got really bad burning in my stomach and it hurt all night. But now my stomach got used to it. Unless I did not eat a big enough meal, then I do start to feel stomach burning.
Thanks
Ladies... I feel like i need support so much right now! I just feel so alone in this disease, even when I see positive inprovements through treatment, I still am having a hard time. Somedays I feel like the weight of having this disease is going to swallow me.
I still haven't tried anything yet. I am scared to, so I am going to wait until my husband is home so at least I can have someone to help with my child.
I never thought the supplements could cause die off that extreme and so fast. I feel like I've done something wrong to get that sick off of them. But I feel like that alot with this disease. It sure can make you feel like you are ALWAYS having to feel guilty about having IC. Or, at least I really struggle with this.
Ok, thanks again. I will try in a few days slowly.
Pros
Hi Hopeful,
I had a terrible time getting used to Bifida - caused horrible anxiety. Then, finally, for two months I was taking two of them three times a day and felt great. Then, Wham - horrible constipations, then horrible diarhea. With that, horrible mucous junk and tons of white bowel. I tried to keep taking the Bifida, wanted to keep on going. Well, my stomach got better but I turned into a crazy, paranoid, scared to death person, once again. So nuts, like over a year ago, that I wasn't sure that I could hang on. So, I cut the Bifida and am sane again. I need to slowly add Bifida back in but am terrified.
So, I GET it!
don't feel alone!
Hopeful,
The same exact thing, albeit to a much lesser extent, happened to me. Took a week plus off my protocol to take other herbs to treat a cold, then went back on them and felt ill. No vomitting, but had nausea, had a headache and my symptoms hav been FLARING.
You're not alone in this. We're all different, but dealing with the same issues. Stay srong.

I don't get
I don't get how I could be on over 3 a day of the mega, bif and digestalac for so long, then take two weeks off and have such a horrible time getting back on?
I finally got the courage up to try again at 1/2 the dose, plus she dropped some other stuff I was taking. I felt pretty sick the first day, but no throwing up. I am sorta dreading doing the whole dose though.
My worst thing is still constipation and frequency/urgency. I hardly every burn, and when I do, it is a lot better then it used to be! Thanks for all the encouragement ladies, I need it so much! Don't we all : / Hope your all having a good day.
