Can TruFlora™ help if food-poisoning is suspected?
If TruFlora™ is taken at a high enough dose immediately after eating contaminated food it can often reduce the effects of food-poisoning.* If taken anytime later it may still provide some benefi t. TruFlora™ acts as in A#2 above but also by direct competition with undesirable microorganisms for nutrients. This is called C.E., for competitive exclusion. Salmonella, for example, does not do well in head-to-head competition on a Petri dish against TruFlora’s probiotics. NOTE: If food is eaten that is suspected of containing food-poisoning microorganisms do the following: Take one (1) TruFlora™ capsule every two (2) hours (up to 12 capsules in 24 hours) and follow with two (2) capsules daily for 10 days. *Exceptions: Food heavily contaminated with food poisoning microorganisms or microbial toxins can cause food poisoning that cannot be stopped EVEN with high doses of probiotics. Taking probiotics is these situations may speed recovery time (see trufl ora.com for references).
