Antibiotics can destroy the beneficial bacteria that reside in our gastrointestinal tract. Eating yogurt with live, active cultures helps to reestablish a healthy intestinal balance by increasing the microorganisms that are naturally present in the gastrointestinal tract. You are definitely on the right track. I look at this as 3-pronged approach: (1) completely eliminate sugar and refined carbohydrates. This includes fruit for a period of time.

When antibiotics are going to work, they not only are killing the bad bacteria, but also killing the good bacteria in your digestive system. Research suggests that it is best to have probiotics in your diet while you take antibiotics. Probiotics help replenish the good bacteria in your system to maintain a proper balance. We recommend that you refer to the instructions included with your medication, as well as consult with your healthcare provider for direct guidance.

Although the incidence of contraceptive failure is low, birth control pills are less effective when combined with many types of antibiotics or St. John’s Wort herbal remedies. If you are using either of these medications while on birth control pills, you should use a back-up method of birth control during and for at least seven days after you finish your course of antibiotics.

In Chapter 6, I discuss soy milks, soy yogurt and soy cheeses in depth. Contrary to popular belief, these products were not consumed traditionally in Asia but were first promoted and manufactured by Seventh Day Adventist missionaries from America. Although it's better to eat non-GMO soy if you insist on eating soy, all soy products including organic products include naturally occuring antinutrients, toxins and plant estrogens. --Response by Dr. Kaayla Daniel, author of The Whole Soy Story

No. Here's what Elaine says. In relation to probiotics (and probiotics are the main reason for making/eating the SCD yogurt): "If you are not on SCD and are sending loads and loads of fermentable carbs down to the colon as most people are... the probiotic bacteria/ae will just make things worse. That is why I think it is so positively awful for the Crohn's and Colitis list to be PUSHING probiotics without the SCD. Wake up guys over there!"

The date on the lid is a suggested sell-by date. It is not the date that the yogurt will “expire” or “go bad”. Up until this date, we feel that our yogurt will look and taste its best. It can be perfectly okay to eat yogurt after the sell-by date. Just use your judgment. If the yogurt looks, smells, and tastes good, and there are no visible signs of mold, it's okay to eat.

Our digestive tract depends on several strains of live bacteria to function properly. The bacteria help break down food, making nutrients more available for absorption through the intestinal walls and fight infestation by other possibly harmful, bacteria, yeasts and viruses. Bacteria counts can be greatly reduced as we age, consume antibiotics, under go chemotherapy, etc.

Our yogurt is meant to be eaten as is, right out of the jar. Due to its high level of live bacteria it can also be used as a starter for home yogurt making.

Many people with lactose intolerance are able to eat yogurt without feeling any adverse side effects such as bloating, gas, stomach cramps and in some cases diarrhea. This may be due to the enzymes found in the active bacteria cultures that help to break down the lactose. Yes. Because we add live and active cultures to our "soyogurt", your gastrointestinal system benefits in the same way as with dairy yogurt cultures.

No, not dairy yogurt. However, yes to several brands of soy yogurt now available in health food, and specialty stores, they are 100% dairy-free, contain beneficial active cultures and taste great. Return to FAQs

Yes, you can. It is a nutritional food substance that won't interfere. If you can eat fruit you can take our ClearTract.

As you know, you should take FLONASE as prescribed by your doctor. For adults, the recommended starting dosage is two sprays in each nostril, once a day. One spray in each nostril, taken twice a day (for example, 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.) is also effective. After the first few days, you may be able to reduce your dosage to one spray in each nostril, once daily, for maintenance therapy. The maximum total daily dosage should not exceed two sprays in each nostril.

The deferral from donating while on antibiotics is not for the antibiotic itself, but for the underlying condition for which the antibiotic is being taken. It is possible that the infection or illness may be transmitted through a blood transfusion. Generally speaking, the deferral is temporary and a donor may resume giving blood when symptom free and the course of antibiotics is completed.

Antibiotics kill off the bacteria in you intestinal system - the good as well as the pathogenic. This causes intestinal upset as the system now has trouble breaking down and digesting food and absorbing gases. In addition, once the antibiotic is discontinued, the void is often filled by the repopulation of the intestinal sites by the undesirable (pathogenic) bacteria that survived.

Yes. Your child can still be vaccinated if he or she has a mild illness, a low-grade fever, or is taking antibiotics.

Yes, just check what condition they are taking it for and make sure that it is not a serious medical condition.
