RE: Doc Talk #10 Viral gastroenteritis - A messy problem
Thanks for your answers.
I've read that sour kraut, kim chi and yogurt are good probiotics. Do you know of other foods?
Amoebic dysentery also causes severe diarrhea. When I've traveled in Mexico in the past, if I got diarrhea I would only drink lots of water for a day to starve the amoebas and then the following day eat lots of watermelon to help flush them out. Seemed to work pretty well. Don't know if I had amoebic dysentery or something else. But the main thing is, I recovered.
You actually might have had that. That's pretty rare condition here in Southern Europe.
Any fermented foods are excellent sources of probiotics and prebiotics. I eat ton of Sauerkraut. Cheese is good as well (if done properly, but they don't come cheap). Any homegrown organic vegetables are good source of probiotics.
Thanks.
Do the homegrown organic vegies need to be fermented or is fresh or stewed ok for probiotics?
Fresh is more likely to act as a probiotic since in that way heat doesn't kill bacteria that are living on the veggies
Thanks again
