Would anyone try this? I am curious what mine looks like

Should You Get a Microbiome Test? (Published 2021)

Companies can tell you the kinds of microbes that live in your gut, but the results may not help you lose weight or fend off disease.

Updates on my health experiment: It was going well until I tried going off my IBS medicine. That was a scary moment for me. I am back on my medicine and happy taking kyo-dophilus as a probiotic with a banana and some multi-grain toast. My digestion is the best it’s ever been. The banana & toast definitely make an impact on how well the kyo-dophilus works. So I’m not 100% on whether the kyo-dophilus is essential and any probiotic supplement will do so long as I eat the same breakfast. I would love to figure it out for myself but like I said, my digestion is in the best place it’s ever been, so I am reluctant to mess with my gut health in order to figure it out.


This is my first year treating colds with smashed cloves of garlic. Garlic has a lot of interesting health benefits. It used to be used as a performance enhancer in Ancient Greece for Olympic athletes. I take it as I feel a cold coming on. It has a two out of two success rate so far! I’m actually trying to ferment my smashed garlic in honey which helps with diluting the taste. It is still very powerful though NGL.

Ahaha oh no!! It sounds like such a great concept

got to try these things out though. Could’ve been magic

I take vit D, an apple cider, turmeric and ginger tablet and a vit C and zinc supplement every morning. I did take fish oils too but fell out of the habit

I have a calcium pill that is combined with magnesium and D3. I love it! There’s a bottle of ACV in the fridge but I haven’t been able to turn drinking it into a habit. I read that digestive enzymes pills can help in the same manner as ACV so I started taking those. I do feel a little more energized since I began taking them with my meals.

I ended up trying out the “happy” probiotic. I don’t do drugs but apparently, probiotics are on the cards They fit in with the other probiotics I take. My nightmares saw improvement so I’m glad I took them.

Does anyone have a recommendation for trace mineral drops? I’d like to start adding minerals into my drinking water.

I’ve been told it’s good for women but it’s not cheap as such. Like £2.99 a box so I don’t want to waste money on it

I am interested in its nutritional benefits. Thankfully don’t have painful cramps and am not expecting. I suspect that most will be trace amounts but it’s best not to assume!

Ahhhh I am looking for anxiety targeting probiotics now. I found one but dang it if I’m not scared. The first reviewer says that this strain cured negative side effects he contracted from another probiotic that he took, i.e., anxiety, fatigue, vivid nightmares, brain fog. I would be lying to myself if I said that the reviewer doesn’t put me off experimenting.

Unscientific and unproven nutrition advice encouraged; I fully plan to research any tips before ingesting foods and welcome everyone reading here to do the same. Anecdotal evidence recommended Let’s go!

ive also starting taking a probiotic supplement that apparently helps gut health but not sure on that one just yet.

Cool! Which one are you taking?

There’s an IBS thread where I am sure you will be a treasure I’m going to start adding a new probiotic myself soon. The plan is to add it gradually and see what happens. I don’t like spending money on probiotics, and certainly don’t want to be paying to take two at once, but I’m curious about the hype.

Purchased this book recently and I’ve been using it today in conjunction with my regular online source to troubleshoot a minor health problem I’m enduring. The book is interesting - it’s pointed me in a different direction than I was expecting. I’ve now put in an order for oil of oregano with carvacrol, some CoQ10 and a unique probiotic strain.
