I have started my chemo yet - still healing from the surgery. I was wondering if anyone has tried probiotics to help with the gastric discomfort of chemo?
I found this:
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4583404/
and I think I will try it. If anyone else wants to try it the most researched brand that you can just buy over the counter is Culturelle. There is another one but you cannot get it in the UK that is Zarbees and widely available in the USA. I did a quick Google and did not find a UK distributor.
I have been on Google Scholar and a regime I am going to try is one Culturelle twice a day for at least 3 days before chemo and continue throughout treatment plus no food on the day of chemo before you have it. Apparently an empty stomach is easier to defend from the trots!
