I've just been tested and the test ended early, an indication of positive, but I have two more tests to go before I meet with the doc to discuss the results (lactose and lactulose small intestinal bacteria). I've been reading up on it, since I love fruits and veggies. I am going grocery shopping tomorrow and want to start fresh. I am planning on a green smoothie diet cleanse for as long as I can stand not having solid foods, at least 5-7 days. My other tests are on the 9th and 12th, so I have time to do some repair to my gut before them. Does anyone else have this and tips on how to survive?

Is that type of interim diet recommended by your doctor?
You may want to post your question on the Health & Fitness forum since there are several medical professionals & well-informed people there.

Can adding a good probiotic to your diet help replenish the gut with beneficial bacteria in order to perhaps keep the other non-beneficial bacteria at bay? Has your doctor suggested anything like that? I am not real familar with that type of bacteria so I am not sure if it is that simple with that type of bacteria-it could be a pretty hardy/determined type that are better at utililizing food sources and can therefore ""override"" the other type of bacteria.

Thanks for the Health and Fitness plug. I'm off to there.
Yes to the probiotics, but I already take that and will need very large doses of it and possibly antibiotics plus a fructose free diet and time.
