Matia has tried to move me forward with probiotics a couple of times now, but the changes or increases have shot my urgency right up.
Do others have experience with this? I'm feeling a bit nervous that it means that it's going to keep me at a standstill with my healing, especially in tapering the urgency feeling.
I was taking bifo and mega, then the mega was taken out and I couldn't tolerate just the bifo along with the (4 ) Rehmanniae Peonniae. So now I'm back down to 2 RP and just one mega. Urgency is not as strong.
Anyone else farther down the path with this kind of protocol?
Thanks.
Probiotics
I have a lot of trouble taking probiotics. The Bifidus especially bothers my bladder. I can only take very small amounts, like a pinch, at a time. They also give me a headache.

Camile:This has happened to me. I really had a hard time incorporating the bifido. I started at 1/4 cap a couple of times per day and this went on for quite some time. Now I am able to tolerate 1 whole cap three times per day. Matia wanted me to increase to 2 bifido three times per day. This causes way too much burning and therefore frequency. You are just not ready. Don't worry it will get better.

I had a terrible time with the bifido too! It gave me burning in abig way and what happened was we just moved really really slowly allowing time for my body toget used to the bif. It took me close to 6 months to tolerate a whole capsule 3 times a day. I started out takeing 3 sips of a half a bif 3 times a day! that was all I could handle for a minute. It rejected it at first but then it got to be where my body really liked it and seemed to even welcome itand I had no noticable or uncomfortable reaction. Your body will get used to it and be able to handle more in the future without it freaking out and increasing your symtoms.
Just chiming in to say I
Just chiming in to say I second what everyone else said. It seems the body takes time to adjust to increasing dosages, longer for some than others, but in the end, it gets there. So if it's not tolerating it now, it doesn't mean it won't ever, just that you're not ready yet. With me, going from 2 to 3 bifidos per dose at first seemed to kick up pain, so we backed down. Only a couple weeks later, Matia said to try going up to 3 again, and I was scared as I anticipated being in pain again, assuming it would be no different than the last time. But even in the span of a few weeks, trying it again this time, nothing happened. I've learned to stop pushing so much w/ trying to get to the next level of treatment and rather to sit back and listen to my body tell me when it's ready or not. It's frustrating b/c you feel so passive in the process, but in actuality there's great power in listening to your body enough to truly honor it, and after all it knows better than us!
