Still tapering and going to us Probiotics to help with anxiety

[[Buddie]]

[...], I'm waiting for my first order of the Lifted probiotic you mention. I have definite histamine and d-lactate sensitivity.

I hope you'll post here about your results. Apparently, it's best to start on low doses (I'm going to open each capsule and take very small amounts to start), and build up from there. That way, the body has time to adapt to the inevitable die-off of gut pathogens.

I'll report back here.

Thanks,

You're welcome!  I will update.

Apparently, it's good to give it a try of at least 6-8 months to see whether it works, in each specific case. I'm really hoping it will help with the anxiety, in my case, and I'm willing to be patient for that...

Good luck.

Just to add a little something to this discussion.

I had terrible benzo belly and nausea on my taper and I did some research on probiotics. The brand I settled on is Jarro Dophilus. It has eight different strains. Interestingly, I read an article during that time by a psychiatrist who believes that if we heal our guts, we can heal our depression, anxiety, etc. So I thought why not give it a try?

I had very good results. My gut settled down. I just generally felt better. I wasn't particularly depressed or anxious, so I can't speak to that.

But it does make sense -- what the psychiatrist said. We have more gaba receptors in our gut than in our brain. Such an easy fix . . . no more ADs! Wow!

I've continued to take Jarro Dophilus. I buy it from Amazon. I'm very pleased with it.

Hope this helps.

[...], this is encouraging, thank you.

I agree that gut healing seems to be key for many of us. (Interestingly, I read that childhood trauma hurts the 3rd or power chakra quite severely, as our sense of power/control over our own experiences is diminished. Third chakra refers to the liver and the gut. This resonates, in my case.)

I'm putting the Jarro Dophilus on my list. I'm hoping that once the histamine sensitivity slows down, I'll be able to tolerate more probiotic strains. Thanks again for the info.

Yes I have heard that as well I am still tapering off klon have 0.096mg left and get reactions when trying something like I mentioned I tried the first probiotics I bought but like someone said it could be the histamine reaction while being on the benzo so this new one is histamine free so fingers crossed.

You are off all meds now ?
