Date: December 18, 2008 01:59PM Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone knows if there are any raw vegan sources of probiotics apart from fermented stuff? I've been raw vegan for six years (two years on 8-1-1) but unfortunately recently I had to take a course of antibiotics due to a persistent tonsil inflammation. I am aware of the damage antibiotics do to the intestinal flora and now I would like to try and reverse it at least to some degree but I am not sure if I can do it with the food I eat (fruits, greens and some nuts/avocados occasionally)? I don't like raw fermented veggies like sauerkraut, so would probiotic pills be the only solution?? Please share your experiences and thoughts! Regards, M. Re: probiotics

As for antibiotics, I don't take that stuff anymore. Nope, straight to the colloidal silver I go. No muss, no fuss, no failure, no moral dilemma. Good luck in your recovery! Re: probiotics

Date: December 19, 2008 11:29AM Thanks for replying Tamukha. Yes, that's probably what I'll do in the end-take a supplement. That's the easiest way to do it, rather than having to force myself to eat things that don't agree with me. And I've decided-no more 'life-killers" for me too! Re: probiotics

Probiotics and digestive enzymes have always been an important part of my health even though I've been raw for years. I may stop them briefly, but always end up using them again.
