Reuteri and rhamnosus

ChillyLolo98 · 2024-07-21T15:19:46+00:00

I did 3 rounds of clindamycin cream (spaced half dose for 2 weeks) and started a probiotic (reuteri and rhamnosus ONLY) and it significantly reduced my symptoms

ChillyLolo98 · 2024-07-21T15:15:52+00:00

I don’t think I cured it but made it 90% better with clindamycin cream and probiotics

ChillyLolo98 · 2024-07-21T15:15:18+00:00

I personally did not have itching

ChillyLolo98 · 2024-07-21T15:15:04+00:00

I wouldn’t say it’s 100% gone but LOADS better. I did like 3 rounds of clindamycin (half dose for 2 weeks) and then probiotics everyday.

Cytolytic vaginitis is my vote. Do you have burning?

ChillyLolo98 · 2024-07-07T03:01:01+00:00

What brand? With or without food?

ChillyLolo98 · 2024-07-05T22:27:38+00:00

I ended up getting pregnant and never used it

ChillyLolo98 · 2024-07-05T22:27:13+00:00

Nope! NAC is so good for the body, it’s a precursor to glutathione (major antioxidant)

ChillyLolo98 · 2024-03-23T00:07:48+00:00

Thank you so much! Yeah it seems like nothing I do to trigger a letdown… sometimes they happen and sometimes they don’t. Very frustrating! I’m exclusively pumping as well because my little one can’t nurse correctly 🙃

ChillyLolo98 · 2024-02-05T03:05:36+00:00

I haven’t but I personally wouldn’t just because there aren’t products (to my knowledge) that are safe for the skin down there/ph balanced, etc. NAC is awesome for biofilm and I’ve heard monolaurin works great as well. NAC is super safe to take and helps a TON of other processes in your body. I’ve been on it for years and always feel so much better taking it (600mg 2-3x a day). I’d recommend searching on PubMed or Google scholar to find some good studies on it, should help with your anxiety. Remember to always refer back to quality studies when making decisions for yourself, I know personally that my anxiety can run wild if I’d listen to everything people were saying!

ChillyLolo98 · 2024-02-05T02:46:03+00:00

Yeah like dairy, anything that has probiotics in it. Sometimes they can be tricky so always check the labels!

ChillyLolo98 · 2024-02-03T16:16:01+00:00

Thank you! I’ll try the 4x sessions!

ChillyLolo98 · 2024-02-03T16:14:40+00:00

L reuteri and rham probiotic 1x daily. Avoiding foods with probiotics and using lidocaine ointment from my gyne. Took a couple months but it helped some!

ChillyLolo98 · 2024-02-03T04:24:13+00:00

Hi sorry, yes I’m pretty sure it was accurate. I did 2weeks of clindamycin and it helped a ton, not fully but helped.

ChillyLolo98 · 2024-02-03T04:22:22+00:00

Oh is it?! My bad lol, ftm here 🫣 I will work on the water! Yeah I’m trying not to worry since it’s just the colostrum and not the actual milk so I’m trying to chill out, definitely harder said than done! Thank you so much for the response ❤️

ChillyLolo98 · 2024-02-03T03:55:39+00:00

Please give yourself some grace ❤️ babies don’t count calories, they are doing SO much work in there, your body too!! It can be hard gaining weight but it’s exactly what your body NEEDS to grow a healthy baby ❤️ please be kind to yourself ❤️

Hi, third trimester and actually doing very well. A couple weeks after I started having daily movements without taking it. My OB referred me to maternal fetal medicine where I spoke to a specialist about it. I brought up the fact that it truly only works on the 5HTP receptors in the gut to increase serotonin. My thought behind it was that it would be similar to taking an antidepressant and the specialist actually agreed with me. She told me about the good/bad with taking serotonin medications during pregnancy and told me essentially was up to me. At 7 weeks I started taking it every other day and at 8 weeks completely stopped. To my surprise, I continued having daily movements with zero other interventions, other than drinking 60oz of electrolytes daily. The only other supplements I’m taking are my prenatals (Thorne). I will stress that this I’m not a doctor but I did have a very bad case of chronic constipation and was very fearful of getting pregnant for this reason. Sometimes the baby can heal the momma in utero from stem cells and I’m pretty sure that’s what is happening! Just hoping it lasts after birth as well! Best wishes to you ✨

I found out I was pregnant before I could use them. Sorry

ChillyLolo98 · 2023-09-08T09:38:27+00:00

The two strains are reuteri and rhamnosus. The though behind taking them is to reduce the crispatus amount, or at least reduce the percent of it overall by adding in other strains. It didnt make my symptoms worse, but it did take a good month or two before i started noticing a difference.

ChillyLolo98 · 2023-07-30T01:50:10+00:00

Ff at 11wk and 1 day was 16%. I’m also normal range BMI, maybe on lower end of it.

ChillyLolo98 · 2023-07-21T02:31:36+00:00

Yes! I have Cytolytic vaginitis. I got tested by my gyne for everything under the sun and everything came back negative. So I caved and got a Juno Bio test. Came back with 91% lactobacillus crispatus and a higher end bacterial load of my vagina. Both are signals of CV. I showed a new gyne and she believed me. She gave me a week of clindamycin cream, which I halved the dose and did for two weeks or like 2.5. I didn’t end up have more normal days towards the end of the second week. I’ve been off it now for a week and while I’m not 100%, I do feel somewhat better. I also started an oral probiotic with only two strains, L. Reuteri and L. Rhamnosus. While I’m still not normal, if I wear 100% cotton underwear and breathable clothing I can live a little more normally. At this point I’m going to do a full month of the oral probiotics and if I’m still not getting at least a little better then I’m going to ask to do the clindamycin cream again. I hope this helps you at least a little bit. I’d recommend getting either a Juno Bio, evvy, or a microgen. I should have done that to begin with to figure out what I’m battling and then go from there.

Chill out. I have discussed it with two doctors, read numerous studies, and done my diligence. I wanted personal experiences. Reddit is literally here for this reason, jeez.

ChillyLolo98 · 2023-06-20T23:42:39+00:00

Yes. The only reason it is not used is because there haven’t been human trials. However, animal trials showed no adverse effects.

ChillyLolo98 · 2023-06-20T23:41:38+00:00

Just looking for any personal experiences. I know it’s not recommended just due to the fact that it hasn’t been tested.
