Post-Op Probiotic

[Amelie2016 116]

I'm hoping to see if anyone else has used this product or has any other recommendations for my new VSG stomach.

(I put in a call to the nutritionist, but I doubt I'll get a call back. They stay busy. )

Renew Life Probiotics 50 billion active thingies . It is one that requires refrigeration and they are in capsules. I am 7 days out of surgery, 5 days out of the hospital now.

What kind of Probiotics work best for you guys?

Before surgery I ate tons of fermented foods so it was never an issue.

=) TY!

The over the counter probiotics work well.

I don't know that particular product, but I take a probiotic from costco every day. Also supplement with a psylium capsule twice a day. And remember, you can get probiotics from Greek yogurt too. It's a great afternoon snack.< /p>

Okay, a friend who had bariatric surgery two years ago was told by her doctor that studies show long-term use of Protonix, or other PPIs can leach Calcium from your system, possibly leading to more brittle bones - especially in women. I haven't verified this, but it may be something to talk to our doctors about. [Dang, I love my PPIs!]

That's true, but we're talking about probiotics, not proton pump inhibitors.

Ohhhhh... That's different. Never mind!

(P.S. I take probiotics too; billions of them – literally!)

I just take a probiotic from whole foods daily, for the past couple of years.
