11. Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics Professional Formula with 5 Year Fermented Prebiotics, Live Active Probiotics and The only Product with Postbiotic Metabolites, 60 Capsules
- HIGHEST QUALITY PLANT-BASED PROBIOTICS that are naturally fermented for five years with all-natural ingredients and 12 different strains of probiotic bacteria. Not grown in a lab with a single culture medium, Dr. Ohhira’s process simulates the natural production of probiotics. Fruits and vegetables are added seasonally to feed the bacteria which process this prebiotic material resulting, at the end of 5 years, in strong and effective probiotic bacteria and what are called POSTBIOTIC METABOLITES.
- THE DR. OHHIRA’S ORIGINAL PROBIOTIC CAPSULE contains prebiotics (the fruits and vegetables) with strong and effective probiotic bacteria (12 strains) and POSTBIOTIC METABOLITES that the probiotic bacteria have been producing during five years of fermentation, including vitamins, amino acids, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) which are tremendously beneficial molecules containing immune system-enhancing compounds, detoxifying agents and many other beneficial substances for your digestive health.
- THE CAPSULE IS CONSTRUCTED TO ENSURE that the contents are delivered to the small intestine and colon. The unique properties of the capsule together with the prebiotics allows the live active probiotic bacteria to stay alive for years at room temperatures, ready to go to work in your gut. This is an expensive way and the best way to create a probiotic supplement. A supplement carefully crafted over 5 years at a price per capsule comparable to inexpensively cultured probiotics
- THE UNIQUE COMBINATION of prebiotics, probiotics and post-biotic metabolites helps in microbiome repair and maintenance. The prebiotics feed your own unique bacteria. Probiotics help support your digestive health, immune system and weight loss goals and provide occasional relief from constipation, bloating, gas, leaky gut and dysbiosis. The postbiotics go to work adjusting intestinal pH, reducing inflammation, improving growth of healthy new cells lining the GI tract-providing microbiome renewal
- There are other probiotics with higher CFU counts but if higher CFU counts were the answer then those probiotics would be super effective. You can get probiotics with 50, 60 or even 100 billion CFU per dose. Customers of those high CFU count probiotics still wonder, “did it make a difference?” Choose Dr. Ohhira’s probiotic with live active probiotics, 12 strains working together for 5 years, prebiotics to feed your own bacteria, plus post-biotic metabolites to start repairing your microbiome.

Also if you're into reading, you might enjoy this book to get a clearer picture of how your stomach works:
Another interesting one on longevity is this one:
The author of Blue Zones has a really good TED Talk here:
Learning how your body works, as well as what we really actually truly know about managing our bodies, is a really great little hobby to get into. For example, this TED Talk explains how your body actually "burns" fat:
I think the microbiome is a really exciting field. It took us years to figure out (publicly, at least) that smoking was bad for us. Who knows what the future holds? Maybe GMO's are bad, maybe they're good! Maybe we're all gonna turn into zombies from the Walking Dead from glyphosate, lol. Maybe kale gives you cancer long-term...who knows? My friend's cancer doctor (at one of the top hospitals in the country) swears that chocolate causes cancer & sees recurrences based on the re-inclusion of it in the diet.
Science vs. data vs. hard facts is difficult, because like I linked to in the other post, that lady who's 116 years old eats bacon every day. Common knowledge says that should kill you, but that's not really how our bodies work, once you understand the whole stomach/small intestine/large intestine deal.
Who decided that every single fruit & vegetable were perfectly fine, and that Snickers bars were somehow magically bad? I bought into the "clean eating" myth for a long time, but I've gotten far better results eating against my macros - obviously, not eating a non-stop diet of junk food, but you don't have to feel guilty about a cheat meal or cheat day because you can eat whatever you want - if it fits your macros.
Everyone has a different gut, and there are certain universal rules that affect everyone. If you eat nothing but fried food & salty, preservative-laced fast food & junk food all the time, that's not going to make you feel good or be very healthy for your body long-term, obviously. But, you're going to diet anyway at some point, so the question is: how do you want to experience the ride? What does your personal body tell you & what does science know for sure?
Those are things you have to find out for yourself - for example, pomegranate juice gives me severe acid reflux. I don't know why, but it does, so it's just not something I include in my diet, even though it's pretty tasty! And I eat Whoppers like twice a week sometimes & still hit my macros & still know that I'm feeding my body the correct macro-nutrient balance I need to feel good & have high energy. Now, if fried grease hurts your stomach, or gluten hurts your stomach, then obviously you should not include those things in your diet.
Learning about how food works & how your gut really works & how your own particular body actually works are really big stepping stones for taking control of your health. No one knows your body but you know, and you have a responsibility to care for it & to enable yourself to open up the gates to high energy & being at an ideal weight for health reason through how you choose to eat.
I've tried just about every diet & way of eating you can imagine...juicing, vegan, raw vegan, fruitarian, vegetarian, keto, paleo, you name it (and can give you great recipes from all of them!). Macros has worked the best for me. I do a majority of homemade food from mostly real food sources (I use sugar & flour all the time though), but still enjoy a McFlurry & other stuff as party of my regular diet.
It was really hard to get over the conversational programming we all have about what is good & bad for us. Macros has worked amazing for me, with a majority of it being real, actual food - meat, veggies, grains, fruits, nuts, seeds, and so on. I don't eat ridiculously healthy, I eat primarily for taste, against my macros. I feel great all the time, I look so much better than I did when I was 50 pounds overweight, I have way more energy, all of my blood numbers are awesome, I don't have energy dips mid-morning & mid-afternoon, I don't take 20 minutes to become awake in the morning, etc. Raw diet aside, Chris Califano really nails the energy thing here:
If you don't feel like what he says - and if you want to feel like that - then a diet change is a a great starting point! I'd suggest looking into IIFYM (read through my posts here) & if things are severe, doing an elimination diet. Or seeing your GP & a GI doc & a food allergist. Lots of routes to go to begin your journey to better health, energy, and happiness! That's not fluff talk, that's all real stuff - having great bloodwork, being at your ideal weight, feeling good & energetic, feeling driven because of that energy, feeling happy because your stomach system is operating properly!
I want to debunk a couple of points in this article. This will be a long post, but I will provide light at the tunnel at the end. Please standby.
For example, Pearls have only 320 million CFU (most researchers agree you need at least 1 billion for a therapeutic dose) when tested via labdoor. Yet, they have a 4.5 star rating on amazon with 80+% being of a 4 star rating or better (over 1300 reviews). All of these people cannot be lying. My guess is its placebo effect. For comparison, Prescript assist has 80% of its users rating it more than 4 stars or better and a total of 377 reviews.

"We do not have a direct explanation as to why the exposure to tetracycline antibiotics might increase the risk of IBD nor do we have an explanation more specifically why exposure to doxycycline might increase the risk of CD. Clinical and bench science evidence does exist implicating a role of bacteria and/or previous antibiotic exposure in the pathogenesis of IBD and CD"
Another paper says this:
"The effect of ciprofloxacin on the gut microbiota was profound and rapid, with a loss of diversity and a shift in community composition
occurring within 3–4 d of drug initiation. By 1 wk after the end of each course, communities began to return to their initial state, but the
return was often incomplete. Although broadly similar, community changes after ciprofloxacin varied among subjects and between the
two courseswithin subjects. In all subjects, the composition of the gut microbiota stabilized by the end of the experiment but was altered
from its initial state. As with other ecosystems, the human distal gut microbiome at baseline is a dynamic regimen with a stable average
state. Antibiotic perturbation may cause a shift to an alternative stable state, the full consequences of which remain unknown."
In this paper here (http://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/gb-2014-15-7-r89), they argue, and reasonable well since they collected stools samples of 2 people daily for an entire year, that it doesnt matter so much the type of bacteria, but moreso the function, AND, several different populations of bacteria can have the same function. Therefore, you can't conclude that when your biome changes, it is permanently wrecked. It may not be wrecked at all. It might 2 sides of the same coin.
The Silver Lining
It would be unfruitful of me to simply point out all the things wrong with this article but not point you to good science so you have something to hang your hat on.
Here is a great paper that done by some researchers at MIT. These guys submitted their stool daily for a year (over 700 samples) and kept a daily log of what they were doing. They were not shown their biome results until the study was over so they could not influence them.
here is a great article telling the narrative of the paper:
http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/09/these-two-guys-studied-their-feces-for-a-year/378862/
Their scientific paper is here:
http://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/gb-2014-15-7-r89
The data they used for this study is also publicly available.
Here is another great paper from Lawerence David's group: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24336217
They show that diet can change biome rapidly and predictably. They also examined a few other biomarkers.
Hey there. I am new at making this yogurt too, after reading /u/resistingdopamine 's threads on BB536. I got one of these yogurt makers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BQ98EU/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I boiled a pot of milk (42 oz or 7 cups) to 180 degrees, let it cool to 110 degrees, poured the milk into the 7 cups that came with the yogurt maker, broke open 1 pill for each cup of milk and emptied into the 7 containers with the milk, stirred it around, turned on the yogurt maker and covered with the transparent lid.
It took around 24 hours for the yogurt to become solid, but once it was, I put it in the fridge, took it out a few hours later, and it tastes great.
I save 1 of the 7 cups of yogurt in the first batch to inoculate the next 42 oz/7 cups. I think you can repeat this a couple times, so you don't have to use new pills for each batch. After a couple times using previously made yogurt to inoculate a new batch of yogurt, the probiotic stops growing, so then you'd need to use a fresh set of pills.
I'm just sort of learning as I go, but having the yogurt maker to keep it at that sweet spot of 110 degrees for 24 hours is key. Hope it helps a little. I'm only on day 2, so hoping for good results soon! Eating 2 cups a day. :)
Is it? Hm, I never noticed. I mean: I do have a significant interest in the current state (and direction) of agriculture so it shouldn't be that much of a surprise. >shrug<
Pretty cool to share your rationale for why you subbed to this sub.
Have you read Mycorrhizal Planet by Michael Phillips yet? It was a nice late winter read for me; marked my copy up pretty good with notes for later reference.
I did Elaine Ingham's "Life in Soil Class" recently too; and while I didn't agree with her position on a couple of things, I found it to be very interesting and have some different approaches I'll be implementing on my acreage.
I've also done significant soil-biology testing this spring with A&L Canada (think: Solvita test on steroids), to develop a baseline for levels/populations of my soil life. I'm taking bi-weekly tests of the same type now that I've applied my glyphosate/atrazine/isoxaflutole so that I can see soil population response and recovery. It's going to be a pretty cool experiment. The same fields will be getting randomized cover crops (some that will over-winter and some that will not); and we'll see how my soil life (along with farm ROI) changes.
Thanks for showing an interest, too bad you banned me from /r/Organic; because we could have had some great discussions in that sub as well.
Wow, so it sounds like you really are in worse condition than you initially let on, but don't worry because that only means it'll just take a little longer to heal yourself. Similarly to what those who have suffered from lyme disease must do to recover their gut health (think like a year instead of 6 months). Really check this out.
With your situation it does seem important for you to find a good gastroenterologist who should ask you to provide a stool sample for analysis so he can find out what the hell is actually going on in your digestion. I picked up something in Tanzania years back and had similar symptoms to yours. After failing to fix the issue over and over again, a stool sample analysis was finally the only way we ever figured out exactly what was in there and how to treat it (it was some rare bacteria or something like that). This seems important in your case.
And nope, klamath micro algae is quite different than spirulina, it is more of a supplement than a health food. I'll link it here. It's a supplement on a lot of levels from its nutritional profile to its microbial and genetic profile.
Here are further resources which are very informative and revealing about what you can do with your gut and diet.
https://youtu.be/gOZcbNw7sng - A LOT of info on microbiome
https://youtu.be/A6g_geYeL4U - digesting depression
https://youtu.be/zJlCjayk1HQ - more anecdotal stuff on healing through diet.
And Dr. Patrick's instagram page is a goldmine of nutritional and wellness knowledge for anyone interested in improving their lives and well being: Here ya go. ...And eat a lot of broccoli sprouts to counter the effects of smoking and oxidative stress. They're super easy to grow on your own.
Best of luck, get your stool checked out by a GOOD doctor. There's a lot of shitty ones out there.
Awesome! Good for you. (I wasn’t talking to you)
Have you read this. This is interesting
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2672390/
Let me clarify re: TMAO. I’m talking about TMAO,
LDL, saturated fat from red meat as a package. There’s no back and forth.
Here’s a book Dr Allen just wrote.
https://www.amazon.com/Oversaturated-Guide-Conversations-about-Patients-ebook/dp/B07VR28YRJ
Very interesting re: organ meats.
Humans have eaten 100g of fiber for 100’s of thousands of years. Many of us are in uncharted territory with our 0-15g daily for generations
I wish you luck.
Carnivore clearly not a long term answer as far as real evidence is concerned. Not sure how that’s know it all. I don’t know anything
Show me the evidence
And I’m not sure what you’re saying about misguided appeals to authority. I just mentioned Wahls as someone who reversed her condition with diet expertly
Mikhalia Peterson did exactly the same thing - she also reversed her chronic depression and RA with a carnivore diet.
They’re in the same category - diet healed them
But now what for Mikhalia is the question.
So I’m not pointing to either of them as an answer. Just examples of what’s possible with diet.
Carnivore until she’s 90 rears old? What does that gut microbiome profile look like?
Completely uncharted/ undocumented territory
The gut microbiome is a central player in all this. Without routine metagenomic sequencing and a team of dietary experts you just aren’t going to figure it all out on your own. 39 trillion microbes with 150x genetic of the human
I don’t know shit. Let’s make that perfectly clear.
You're on the right track. Other things to consider:
I'm not sure of your level of education but as a beginner I'd suggest going to university and studying microbiology. If that is not possible, reading a few relevant textbooks like Mims medical microbiology and The Human Microbiota and Microbiome will give you the basic knowledge required to spot wild or impossible claims such as getting arthritis from a probiotic. These are available for free digitally on websites I am unable to link to on reddit.
Beyond that, simply not commenting and not linking to unproven studies is a better option than doing so. It only muddies the water.
Ok so I saw on amazon it does list it in their list of bacteria. That is really crazy!!!! I am so curious now that I am determined to find out why it’s there!
DrFormulas' Best Probiotics for Women & Men | Nexabiotic Multi Probiotic with Saccharomyces Boulardii, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, B. infantis, Prebiotic 60 Capsules (Not Pearls) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0050FKPU0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ktxGDbN9C49SD
If you have Eczema- I would avoid dairy at all costs - NOT A SINGLE DROP- they make plant-based Kefirs which are fantastic- buy those.... They do not have enough Probiotic Count tho--- I would also buy Special Kimchi
https://www.instacart.com/shopping/products/163428-wildbrine-probiotic-fermented-kimchi-18-oz?rid=749&amp;utm_source=instacart_google&amp;utm_medium=sem_shopping&amp;utm_campaign=ad_demand_prospecting_shopping&amp;device_id=Cj0KCQjwyerpBRD9ARIsAH-ITn8kiQbOutUWluVI3TbBHQ9eLENYxRzoWmeHxNNQ49lPk2Kza7y-F4YaAo-8EALw_wcB&amp;utm_source=instacart_google&amp;utm_medium=paid_search_nonbrand&amp;utm_campaign=ad_demand_shopping_food_mo_stlouis_newengen?ko_click_id=ko_7ebe5d3b21d8b9a9e&amp;utm_medium=paid_search&amp;utm_source=instacart_google&amp;utm_campaign=ad_demand_prospecting&amp;utm_term=&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwyerpBRD9ARIsAH-ITn8kiQbOutUWluVI3TbBHQ9eLENYxRzoWmeHxNNQ49lPk2Kza7y-F4YaAo-8EALw_wcB
and plant-based yogurt-like "Lava" from whole foods and coconut-based yogurt with no sugar
And no - NONE OF THESE THINGS HAVE ENOUGH PROBIOTIC COUNT ALONE- they are purely supplemental to the BIG BOY PILLS --- Add some pure bone broth also and you will heal in NO TIME- and you will report back how unreal this is
I would also add pure Liquid Chlorophyll with boiled lemon water first thing in the morning as soon as you wakeup to alkalize your body
https://smile.amazon.com/Liquid-Chlorophyll-PROCESSED-Complete-Formula/dp/B00KOTXM02/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2VTKKM5XPPKNP&amp;keywords=eniva+chlorophyll+liquid&amp;qid=1564156627&amp;s=gateway&amp;sprefix=enivia+c%2Caps%2C227&amp;sr=8-3
I would also add Cold soothing Pure Leaf Aloe Vera GEL right after that.
like I said... watch Marla's videos and learn a lot- she healed herself of Pyhersasis on camera you can clearly see and that is similar to eczema so you can trust in her- not to mention this is her lively hood and she is a registered nurse + holistic nutritionist
Dr. Ruscio's Gut Health Book - If you're not going to work with a practitioner this is the best self-help protocol I've found. Its good to have a plan rather than just throw a bunch of stuff at the wall and hope something sticks.
I'm glad you commented I ended up finding your list and I'm curious about the Reuteri supplement. My mom's in medicine and has been giving us vitamins/supplements and different probiotics for as long as I can remember. I'm in med school now and do a lot of personal research for myself. This stuff really is fascinating.
The sibiotica has helped me a lot with intestinal bloating. Another one that idk if it's a probiotic per se but helped me a TON with food sensitivities and IBS-like symptoms is SeaCure (https://www.amazon.com/Proper-Nutrition-Seacure-180-Capsules/dp/B005P0I8KY). I did an elimination diet with the SeaCure in college over a 3 month period and did antibody allergy testing before and after. I lit up the allergy test before and afterward didn't come back positive for anything. Granted I still can't eat gluten and straight dairy (I'm okay w/ cheese) without symptoms but I stopped reacting to many other foods. I know results with this stuff can be very variable between individuals though.
> It is a fat soluble vitamin, so if you are good about taking a little too much per day, eventually it will catch up with you if you live long enough.
Why? What do you mean by this?
>That's 4 pills.
Number of pills seems pretty irrelevant... I get 5k iu in one pill. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0032BH76O
And this is the k2 I take with it https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GW4S0G
The flora of the vagina does change in the months prior to parturition (cite: Rosebury's classic Life on Man). However, how these changes come about is unknown. Certainly before the days of hospital births, there was greater exposure to the mother's feces which would result in inoculation. Whether or not the mother's vaginal flora is changed by the ingestion of probiotics via the anus- I don't know. Some women claim their yeast infections may be cleared up with oral yogurt, so perhaps it's possible.
As to whether the 1-2-3 (or as many as 10-15) organisms in encapsulated probiotics- many of which do not survive transit through the acid environment of the stomach- are even healthy for newborns- I doubt there are any good data on that.
I know this is late, I hope you still see this.
Last summer I managed to trigger an Akkermansia bloom and I'd be happy to share with you how I did it, first here are my uBiome Explorer results. http://imgur.com/a/wpSzS
I came across this article http://diabetes.diabetesjournals.org/content/64/8/2847 about Concord grape polyphenols triggering growth of Akkermansia in rats and figured I would try to recreate it on myself.
Note from the results uBiome reported I had 0% Akkermansia in my gut before I started my experiment then there is clearly a bloom then it slowly started to decrease with still some showing up almost a year later. It should be noted that I stopped my experiment after the December test.
How I did it?
I ended up obtaining the Concord grape polyphenols via an extract powder made by Milne, a powder manufacturer, by asking them for a research sample. MilneConcord was the powder I used.
Then I wanted to get as much powder as I could past my stomach so I made my own delivery system using Enteric Coated capsules from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Empty-Enteric-Coated-Capsules-Joined/dp/B014EPR180 and a capsule machine I had at home. We have this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/400-HOLES-SEMI-AUTOMATIC-Capsule-Filler-Capsule-Filling-Machine-3-SIZES/321895073990
These made about 5-600mg of the grape in digestion resistant capsules. I don't recall the exact amount, and shame on me for not being more rigorous, but I ended up taking 2 of these a day during that bloom. I've since stopped taking them.
I used these, but they appear to be out of stock. There are other empty enteric coated capsules on amazon, tho! I used them in combination with gelatin capsules in an attempt to increase my coverage.
Is this probiotic any good?

Anyone have a suggestion for products available in the US for something comparable?
This has both, but also lots of other stuff:
