Active 'bacteria' in Yogurt
Probiotics is basically the same stuff that's in good yogurt. )
Wikipedia does have this warning.Some hospitals have reported treating lactobacillus septicaemia which is a potentially fatal disease caused by the consumption of probiotics by people with lowered immune systems or who are already very ill.

Ask your doctor
I think it's ok for your family to take it, but you should ask your doctor since you are still in treatment. She didn't even want me taking certain vitamins since it decreases the effectiveness of the chemo. I wanted to make sure that the chemo I took was doing it's maximum job. She would only let me take my vitamin, calcium and B6. Better to be safe than sorry.

Thank you!sfmarie said:Probiotics
My sister's doc. said it was ok to take them and even suggested it. I think everyone is different but better check to be safe. I take it and think it certainly helps with digestion. Hugs back, Marie
I will call my onc tomorrow morning to make sure, I have asked what I should be taking, she said a multivitamin, B-Complex, and that was it, but I haven't mentioned Probiotics at all...thanks for the replies!

Donna, studies show Calcium
Donna, studies show Calcium and Vit. D3 are very important for preventing spread, recurrence and long term survival with colon cancer. I'd suggest you speak with your onc but feel sure these will be approved.0 -

..buy some Vitamin D3 today, along with super vitamin B-complex. I had been sprinking some ground flaxseed in my foods, since you don't really taste it, it's good to just mix in the foods, I'll probably keep taking the probiotics whether she likes it or not, just to see by my next appointment if it will actually make a difference.

I read that, and it was quite interesting. I called my onc today, and her nurse said she wanted me to bring in the supplements I want to take on my next visit next month, so she can further research it, to make sure it doesn't counteract the chemo or the Rx meds I am on. So, guess I'll wait!
Hugsss!
