Kelsey Kinney: This is actually a pretty easy question for me to answer because, honestly, I would really recommend it from the same perspective that I was just talking about with gut health maintenance because a lot of times with the vaginosis there’s going to be some degree of dysbiosis going on in the gut obviously as well as the vagina. I think it’s really important to consider gut health for those type of clients.
Of course, I would imagine that if somebody’s got recurrent infections like this that you are looking at the gut health, and if you’re not, I would definitely recommend that you do. At the very least, doing a stool test, possibly also doing SIBO testing, and really making sure that you clear out any infections, balance the microbiome again so that you’ve got a lot of good bacteria, not as much bad bacteria. That’s going to go a long way towards preventing vaginosis or yeast infections, anything like that because you need that balance to also have balance in microbiomes elsewhere in your body.
So honestly, that would be my recommendation, and at the very least, get that person on a probiotic and a prebiotic. You could do something like Fem-Dophilus from Jarrow as a probiotic, and then I would either do the GOS or the FOS like I was just talking about for a prebiotic. I think that would really, really help to not only help address any current vaginitis or vaginosis that somebody has but also to help prevent some of those recurrent infections. Because if it’s recurrent, I mean, you’ve got a serious issue there. You really want to make sure that you are doing everything in your power to help prevent that from happening again, and I really do think that especially the prebiotics but also the probiotics go a long way in helping to prevent that.
One other question here that I’ve got sent in. So, just as a reminder, if you guys are here with me live, I only have one question left that was pre-submitted. We’ve got about half an hour left if you guys have other questions that you’d like answered. Go ahead and submit those now while I answer this last pre-submitted question, and I’ll answer those. But if you don’t have any other questions, we’ll just end a little bit early today.
