Just wondering....What is the acidophilus for? I took it when my son had Thrush ( yeast infection in mouth)....because I couldn't find any Azo Yeast pills at the time, and it is secreted through breastmilk and clears it up quickly. I still have that, but didn't know if you found it necessary or a possibilty for NBE, or if you just take it for other reasons. Thanks

Hi,

I don't use it for NBE specifically but rather for digestive purposes. Without getting graphic, it keeps everything running smoothly (I also do a 30 day colon cleanse every season and as you can see take a healthy liver supplement with the milk thistle) and is a healthy bacteria. Our modern diets and environment are toxic so anything we can do to help our bodies process those toxins helps, in my opinion.

I got really bad heartburn when I was pregnant with my son in 2002 and have suffered with it on and off since then. I also, admittedly, don't eat as well as I should all the time - but since I started taking acidophilus, I rarely if ever have tummy trouble.

In my opinion, the healthier you are, the more successful your NBE, and part of that health means being able to process the excess herbs that your body doesn't want more efficiently - so in that respect, I think acidophilus can help a NBE routine. It doesn't have a direct effect on breast tissue but your body has to work to get you results and the less it has to work to do other things (like digest a meal), the better it can focus on NBE. Again, this is just my opinion. Daily use of acidophilus is still kind of up for debate but I swear by it.

Since I wrote this post a few days ago, I have had another growth spurt and have had to use my old 36C bras (started NBE about 3 1/2 weeks ago).

Hope that helps!
