Gut health and the flu

[RedwolfWV]

Came down with a nasty case of the flu. Every cell in my body aches. Been taking 1 gut health a day. Would upping the dose be beneficial? Luckily I don't have the pukes, but I'm sure as hell not hungry either.

Also open to other helpful ideas. Taking TheraFlu to help with symptoms. Drinking lots of water, gatoraide. Mixing protien powder in with oj as needed.

I know a few people take 2 a day as a loading phase, others take 2 a day for maintenance. When are you taking it?

I think dsade mentioned taking it before bed on an empty stomach, maybe start there and then up the dose if you feel necessary.

Thanks Bob I have been taking it in the morning. Thats about the only time my gut is empty usually

Yeah I think the emptiness part is just to ensure that nothing interferes with the little nasties taking care of your innards. I'm so glad I ripped in to my new bottles last night, 2 weeks on a different probiotic made me a smelly person to be around. But funny! :run: <---not dust from me running fast...

Gut Health: "especially effective when used in conjunction with diets high in protien."

GUT Health is enteric coated. You don't need to take it on an empty stomach.

Yes, upping the dosage if you feel yourself fighting something nasty off WOULD be a very good idea.

Hey red! It does not matter when you take it, or if you take it with or without food. It's enteric coated meaning it is able to withstand gastric transit of the stomach and break down in the small intestine(jejunum) where it yields its effects.

How long ago did you start taking gut health? How long have you been symptomatic? It may infact help to decrease the actual duration of the illness by up to a few days. In gut health's probiotic effects of balancing the intestinal flora, you limit the amount of effort the immune system needs to intervene to maintain intestinal homeostasis. This is turn equates to less stress on the immune system in general allowing it to concentrate on other areas of concern throughout the body.

Increasing the dose to 2-3 capsules/day may help at this point. Increase your vitamin C intake to 1000-1500mg/day. Keep fluid intake high as you've been doing. Get well soon, and keep us updated red.

Hey guys, we lucked out. Turns out we can use the same exact label die for the larger bottle. This speeds up release time immensely.

Thanks for the replies! I got in on the Gut Health/Java lather deal early last week... So been taking it for about a week, but only at 1 a day. I'll bump that up to 3 a day. Started feeling sick saturday night, and by sunday it was pretty much full blown flu. Thank God I'm off work today and tomorrow!

Sounds good. You need to have that loading phase when you first take gut health to maximize effects, and then followed with a dose to maintain effects at 1 capsule/day. It's during the loading phase that the battle takes place within the intestinal tract with the end result being a balanced bacterial flora and healthier immune system overall.

Sometimes the lactobacillus casei ke-99(gut helath) may not effectively attach to enteric sites in the intestines and limit colonization of the probiotic bacteria. This can happen for many reasons. However, Gut Health(Lactobacillus Casei KE-99) has proven in studies to be very efficient in attaching to enteric intestinal sites and producing effective colonization. That is why this strain was chosen.

If effects are not noted after the 5 day loading period, it's recommended to increase dosing for a short time period to enhance efforts of probiotic bacterial attachment and effective colonization. After effective probiotic bacteria colonization has been successfully attained, the probiotic bacteria acts in a competitive exclusion of many of the pathogenic bacteria/threats that exist. The end result being a healthier more nutrient absorbing state.

Thanks

Well I am very happy to report that today I am without symptoms. In fact, I feel great. Started feeling better yesterday afternoon. I even got a light leg workout in at the gym today.

I sure hope none of you get that $hit.... Its a nasty strain of flu. And thanks for all the replies... I'm sure that Gut Health played a role in my quick recovery.

I might have to try this gut health down the road....

Great to hear red! Even more of a reason to incorporate it into everyday supplementation.

I really think you'll enjoy the overall daily benefits it produces.

I have been spending quite a bit of time explaining to the patent holder, and my production rep, the sheer quality of life value that GUT Health holds.

I will be working with them on ways to cut costs down (my specialty) and try to get GUT health down to an even more reasonable cost in the future.

For now, we finalized the price for the 75 count, which should run around $27.50 a bottle.

I should have coated myself in Slick Pleasures! It might have put a silicone barrier between me and your germs!

Well the fever has set in today and I'm officially miserable. I'm snowed in with my kids and they are bored already. I need to figure out a protocal of things to help knock this out by Monday.
