Testek Instruments. They are in Delson, Quebec.

I've never thought about this before. My first thought is that wouldn't the stomach acid kill the sinus bacteria?

It always amazes me how often the British media seem to cover ME/CFS, whereas here in Canada, we might see a story once every five years.

At this point in time medical science has not figured out what it is that we have.

I wonder if uBiome have received the returned kits but are overwhelmed by the number they received. As they aren't sending out any new kits at present, maybe it could be that there is a backlog waiting to be scanned??

Mine took 11 days to arrive and that is just going down the west coast. Your's has a lot longer distance to travel, Rosie.

I'm sleeping much more than usual right now but that is due to a virus that is going around. At first I wasn't sure if it was the Bactoferm or not, but so many people around me have the same thing so I'm pretty sure it's the virus causing me to be extra fatigued and sleeping long hours at night.

@Webdog After thinking about this the past few days, I'm now wondering if possibly you are using too much and too often. Ken Lassesen (CFS Remission) recommends changing probiotics each week. And Lacto-Bacto recommends stopping after four days and going a few days without the probiotics to see...

When I asked about getting my sinuses cultured, the ENT told me that the only way to do it was in the OR under anesthesia. :banghead:

A doctor I saw at a walk-in clinic a few years ago feels pretty sure that it is allergies that are causing my sinus issues. I think it is probably food related but I've yet to figure out to what. I keep my windows open year round so I don't think it is dust or mites that are the issue. As one...

I was trying not to flush out all of the water as I wanted to keep as much of the probiotic in my sinuses as possible. Also I was careful not to get it down my throat as it contains trace amounts of manganese sulfate monohydrate. I didn't add salt to the water as I read that salt acts as an...

This is from the Lacto-Bacto website:

That's what I'm thinking, also. Lacto-Bacto recommend just once a day.

My sinuses felt so much better once I did the rinse this morning with plain saline water. The Bactoferm water was burning the sinuses. I've never been able to use my pot too often as I end up with ear ache after using several days in a row.

Reading people's comments over on Lacto-Bacto it seems that most people who were helped noticed a huge difference within 12 to 72 hours. I feel worse now than when I started. Maybe having ME makes a difference?? I rinsed my sinuses this morning with saline as they burned from the past three...

My experience with bacterial sinusitis is that I sleep around the clock when I have it. This is how I know when I need to be on antibiotics. I recently read something written by an ENT at one of the big hospitals in the US (can't recall which one) who said that the most important question a...

Done!

@Webdog Have you ever been able to figure out what triggers your sinusitis in the first place? Mine always happens around this time of the year and I'm still trying to figure out what causes it.

Over on the Lacto-Bacto website they don't recommend using l. sakei long term. Just long enough to get rid of the sinusitis and then stop. After that only use when you feel yourself coming down with sinusitis.

When Jen avoided mold it seemed to make her symptoms much better and she could function much more normally.
