@unicorn Ahhhhh Christa! So GLAD to hear from you! I am also glad that you are on a breathing and exercise program. What kind of exercise are you doing? I know this battle can get old, but stay the course girlfriend. The fact that the bleeding has stopped seems like a good sign to me. Like you, I get in a bad way too if I get overly exerted. I am hard-headed, but I have finally learned to respect my limitations. (mostly), don't forget, I am hard-headed : ) Please don't be a stranger, and check in from time to time. I truly worry about you when I don't hear from you for awhile.

Hugs, Terri

@pamelasc1 Hi Pam! That is great that your's cleared up in only two weeks.

@jkiemen, Hi Jo Ann. Yes, antibiotics tend to kill off the good bacteria in our gut. It is recommended that you take your probiotics at least two hours before or after a dose of antibiotics. This subject is on my list of things I plan to learn more about. I drink Kefir milk daily. It is lactose free and full of probiotics. I also eat yogurt often. Taking probiotics should be on all of our minds if we are on a constant regimen of antibiotics.

@pfist, thank you for the warm welcome back. It is good to be back! I am glad you posted this about the pseudomonas. Glad to know that it is quickly cultured and easily treated. Our forum friend, @pamelasc1 also posted that hers got resolved in two weeks. These two posts will help others when they read it. Wish I had seen posts like these when I was diagnosed with it last year. It kind of freaked me out a bit.

Are you aware of the new probiotic made in Canada.  It is coconut Kefir. I bought a bottle but switch to Dr Ohhira's fermented professional probiotics. My family Dr make is own kefir for his family.  He is a Vietnamese .

Hi @nick52 and all you can also get coconut youghurt that had probiotics and kombucha(fermented tea) which has probiotics, I try to have as much foods with probiotics as possible.

I have been trying Kombucha  and daily yogurt

Thanks @kiemen I really love the kombucha, fresh tasting.

I love kumbucha too.

@nick52, I plan on making my own soon. You can get the 'seeds' (that is the culture medium) at a good health food store. The culture compounds on itself daily and you end up with an abundance of it. I Googled the process of making your own. It is super easy!
