Avatar f tn I started her on probiotics and about 6 weeks later she stopped complaining. I took her off the probiotics 6-8 weeks after they started working. She was fine for 4 months. Now the stomach pain is back with a vengeance leaving her nauseous and feeling weak. We again had tests done everything came back normal. I also have started her back on the probiotics.
Avatar n tn It sounds like seborrheic dermatitis, which is an inflammatory version of dandruff. I have it in my eyebrows -- it's white and flaky, with no redness until recently, and it started off in one part of one eyebrow, and then it spread. Now recently it has spread to my entire eyebrow. I've tried a lot of things. Using Nizoral shampoo once a day seems to help a little. I also take the following supplements: evening primrose oil, multivitamins, cod liver oil, and sometimes, probiotics.
Avatar n tn s lost the 3 extra pounds he was carrying and his muscle tone looks wonderful. And as I said, his coat actually looks really nice and shiny. But he still has dandruff, and some days it's only a few flakes, but some days it's really, really bad! He NEVER scratches. I'm home with him all day, and he doesn't scratch or bite at himself or seem the least bit uncomfortable, and his energy levels seem normal as well. His skin doesn't seem dry, which seems weird.
4315059 tn?1352675085 I took the pills as I should but was not told to go on probiotics. Soon after I got a massive fungal rash on my back, and got bad dandruff. Later, I noticed that I had what seemed to be "ear dandruff", and my ear was sometimes itchy. After months of tryin I finally got rid of the rash on my back, but the dandruff has persisted for years. Now I have had a painful earache went to the hospital emergency room one evening. I was prescribed an antibiotic suspension for my ear.

Avatar f tn Answer: there could be many reasons that are causiing your patm but there's no denial that you're thinking about it, that is it being on your mind. Ive had patm 10+ years now, some have had it even longer which is depressingly sad. We already learnt this knowledge and it's difficult to erase that memory. NATURALLY FORGETTING about it. If you're still getting reactions you're still thinking about it. Did you realise you're thoughts coincide with what is happening.
Avatar n tn then i started to develop light dandruff (white, very little grains) and seem not to manage to get it under control with normal dandruff shampoos etc. while googling dandruff i read that dandruff (but i assume heavy) can be a sign of hiv infection. then i started reading about scary high aids rates in portugal. especially as most new infections here come from hetero sexual encounters.
Avatar m tn Hello, For dandruff, eat a healthy diet. You can also take vit B6 and vit A and E which are good for hair and skin. Try medicated shampoos for dandruff. There are a number of over-the-counter shampoos available that can help. The most effective ingredients -- antimicrobials -- to look for are zinc pyridinethione, selenium sulfide, sulfur and ketoconazole (also available by prescription). If your hair is colored, don't use products with selenium sulfide or sulfur.
Avatar f tn Hi, wondering if anyone has an answer for me. I used to get dandruff on and off and I used head & shoulders or others like it and it worked fine. This winter, however, my scalp has gotten extremly dry and itchy and flaky, and sore from all the scratching. I tried a bunch of more heavy duty OTC shampoos for dandruff, but none worked. I used an essential oils scalp massage and that worked for a bit. Now it is out of control and driving me crazy.
Avatar m tn Honestly i do not know when it started but i am always using my finger to rub on my scalp looking for something to scratch off , i have a serious problem with dandruff it comes and goes and sometimes grow over night. When i have it bad i notice i have red spots or bumps on my scalp and i need help because i am very scared this might be some sort of disease ... can someone tell me what are these small red spots that appear ?
Avatar n tn Do you have tips on how to get rid of them? Natural and the cheapest way if possible, coz some of my dandruff sometimes results in minor wound like patches.

1464587 tn?1307491605 Does anyone else get incredible inflammation in the intestines and chest/lungs from taking probiotics? This is the 2nd time its happened. The first time was with culterelle and it got so bad and to the point I was crying all day at work, almost couldn't walk and breath...... it subsided when I stopped taking them....... I take sustenex and do VERY well on it but it is not enough with taking azithromycin everyday. So I take an additional one now called something flora.....
Avatar f tn I am 35 weeks pregnant and I just fought a urethritis and cervicitis with antibiotics about 2 weeks ago. I can feel like I still have symptoms of an infection because of the smell and color fluids (yellow or light brown)coming out of my vagina. I was wondering if it would be safe for me to use Femina Flora vaginal inserts in form of capsules. It's a dose of probiotics that I thought might help me restore the flora in my vagina and help with any possible candida growth...
666921 tn?1254990618 sometimes a probiotic will add a prebiotic called FOS and for quite a few folks that can cause gas and bloating.
Avatar f tn They symptoms of bacterial infection ( urge to frequently urinate and unable to pass adequate urine, dribbling, burning and itching) had vanished after I took Niftran, Dio-1 and Fole 150 but now they seem to have appeared again. I constantly feel the urge to urinate but could pass only a little and I tend to dribble too. Its usually wet/leaky near and inside vagina.
4705307 tn?1447970322 Cant eat, and what I do eat refuses to exit my body. I have been in urgent care 3x in the last month. And of course given so much junk that doesn't help. Every morning I go through so much pain its making me crazy. Today I bought some Nature Made triple Probiotics. Could doing this be harmful, I do have a GI appointment, but that is not until the end of next month.

Avatar f tn I recently took a dose of probiotic and experienced severe abdominal cramping, bloating and pain for over 6 hours and the next day I continued to have a burning pain in my back on the right side. Based on this reaction should I continue to take the probiotic's?
Avatar m tn How long would it take for probiotics to clear up or make a difference on bacterial overgrowth?
Avatar f tn My dr. Prescribed me probiotics and fish oil to ease my horrible daily migraines. Didn't help much. But since my dr. Prescribed it I'm sure it wont hurt the baby. Drs. Opinions are always good! Buti.
Avatar f tn Anything from illness to stress to medication use can skew the number and count of bacterial organisms in the intestinal tract. That, in turn, can quickly or more slowly lead to dysfunction. I believe probiotics can be beneficial for many things, including just general good health. If you do some reading on the subject, you'll find that the chemicals given off by the bacteria may be necessary for the health of the cells in the colon as well as mood and health of the 'mind.
Avatar f tn I worked at a birth center for 3 years and we always kept probiotics on hand for the ladies to buy. Several weeks ago I had such horrible gas that I took a couple doses at the recommendation of a student midwife. Definitely talk to your Dr tho if you have any questions about it.
