Hi everyone, I have compensated cirrhosis, and and having trouble with digestion, heartburn, and sometimes constipation, and feeling that my food isn't being metabolized right, it's like my metabolism is way slowed down.
I've read some interesting and promising things about probiotic supplements, and was wondering if anyone else is taking these for intestinal health, and their experiences with this. I bought some today and have started taking them, and will watch this thread and continue posting as I find out if they help me. If you have intestinal disturbances from cirrhosis, it would certainly pay to at least read about probiotic supplements. There are some studies that show benefits. I'm looking to hear from anyone with real-life experience...anyone out there? Posted on 11/10/08, 08:11 pm |

It was one of the most difficult things I ever did but I do not regret the suffering through it at all!!
Congrats to you. I can promise if you can keep you fingers and mind busy you will make it! The greatest factor is a true desire to quit. Not just the attitude that .....well, I really should and my Dr says and so on... YOU CHEW THAT GUM and stay focused on your goal and know that you have a own cheerleader cheering you on. Now, for myself, I guess its fair to say I am not what you want for a cheeleader with the extra weight and a few wrinkles...but I got my heart in the right place and am so proud of your success already. Keep up the good work. Hey, you will feel so much better and you will start to smell things like flowers,etc. that you really did not enjoy fully. You sense of taste will change to the good too!
