this bacteria is amazing. a key cog in the successes we've had. here's a trial. note the increases in beneficial bacteria, especially the bifidobacterium, a super critical bug family

Effect of Bacillus coagulans Unique IS-2 in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): A Randomized Controlled Trial

much more at link, just pasted a sliver of it

bacillus coagulans is top tier bacteria, rather miraculous in fact. the bacteria lives in a spore, like a shell. this spore allows it to sail right through the super acidic stomach with no issues. miraculously, when the spore reaches the right area in the intestines, it opens up, allowing the bacteria out of the spore.

bacullus coagulans lives in the soil, where our food is supposed to grow. modern farming has altered that relationship.

bc has been proven to upregulate/empower the good bugs while at the same time suppressing bad bugs! the trial above is just one example of this.

this bug has given us (me and my family and friend) INCREDIBLE results. some successes we've had - crohns, inflammatory arthritis, anxiety/panic attacks, persistent loose stools, persistent constipation, psoriasis.

we use the swanson brand of bc. important because there are different strains of bacillus coagulans on the market. personally i cant speak of other strains, but i have seen many trials and studies that show their effectiveness too.

when i'm teaching people about this stuff - sometimes all i can get them to do is take a capsule of bacillus coagulans per day. they wont change their diets, etc. still, one capsule per day, and no other changes, have gotten us results. it's not ideal, but we do have some wins with bc alone. if the sick wont change their bad habits, they can at least take one little capsule per day, right? i've had three people that fall in this category -- two with persistent constipation, one with persistent loose stools. all three got back to normal in less than a month on bc. amazing.
 
Quite disappointing that the first study talks about IBD and then when I actually check the details, it was really only done on UC. Probiotics are notorious for not improving, or sometimes even worsen Crohn's symptoms, so based on current info, I dont even feel like giving this a try.

have to work on leaky gut at same time as changing the mix of bugs. this article SCREAMS leaky gut -- see my bold below

also need to do a thread on sibo. small intestine bacterial overgrowth -- the last line below mentions it - see red bold. sibo is common in autoimmune sufferers

the majority of our bugs live in the large intestine. problems arise when we get too many in the small intestine. this 'translocation' article is also pointing the finger at sibo (in addition to the leaky gut). if my memory is correct -- both of these are small intestine issues - and are causal -- the sibo drives the leaky gut

didnt want to make a new thread, clutter. the point is to highlight the miraculous bacillus coagulans. it and the bifids are must haves imo
