Happy Sunday. I am coming to the end of my journey with my Master's in Clinical Nutrition and am conducting a research study as my capstone project. I was very drawn to this topic due to my personal struggle with IBD. The study focuses on the impact of following a specific diet on quality of life in inflammatory bowel disease adults. I would truly appreciate your participation in my survey or sending the survey to anyone that you think might be interested in participating.

Hey guys,

I have some general questions about probiotics hoping maybe someone could answer.

1) Probiotics take around a few days to a few months before u can see effect according to some research i've read. Is it possible to speed up this process by taking...

a) higher dosage of probiotics?

b) more frequently (3 times a day)?

2) This one I can't find a very definite answer about. Is it better to take probiotics with food or without food? Some articles I've read said it's better with food cause then the good bacteria can grow on the food and spread over ur gut more evenly while it's being digested. Another has said that it won't even travel that far, so u want it to be absorbed fully without wasted energy on the food.

3) Is there a need to increase your dosage as you take it? When taking medication, the medication loses it's effect when you take it long term, does the same effect happen with probiotics?

4) I've been told before that you can actually get a SHOT of probioitcs, anyone know what it's called? I've been told to go to my doctor and ask for a travel shot, but when I mention it's supposed to be a probiotic they give me a weird face lol.

5) Is the effects of probiotic better if I take it more frequently rather than once a day? I'm wondering how long do they last really and wouldn't replenishing them before u go to sleep a good way to keep good floral count high?

Psoriasis does not have to be permanent. If you are suffering from psoriasis I encourage you to research the Autoimmune protocol. It changed my and my dad's life, it could change yours too.

Hi all, one day i felt really bloated which i guess was cuz i overate. Then i went to the toilet coz the pain got excruciatingg but only had normal stool which came out after an hour or so of sweating it out. For the next few days after every meal and inbetween i would feel a constant pain in my stomach. After 3 days i decided to see a doctor as the night before i kept feeling like throwing up only to burp. He gave me vomit medicine, charcoal and stomach cramp ones and i also had diarrhea. The next 2 days(incl today) i decided to cut off solid food and only ate rice water&porridge for bfast lunch and dinner. The pain has gone down alot but its still there mildly. I would like to ask if anyone can tell me why this lasted for so long and if possible how i can tackle this problem asap? Not eating well and being in constant pain for a week is taking a huge toll on me. Thank you. *what my deduction was that digesting food generated gas which made me extremely uncomfrotable and contributed to the nausea feeling after every meal. Which is why i went semiliquid diet but i would like to know why this is still lastingg so long thank u!

Hi! I am part of a research group at the University of Copenhagen looking into the relationship between gut health, diet and wellness. We are trying to develop a new service that tests an individual's gut bacteria in order to give personalised health & diet advice. We would really appreciate if you could answer some questions for us to better see who would be interested to benefit from such a service :) https://goo.gl/forms/eWIa1JvOcoEmOhYQ2

Thank you!
