Actimil probiotics

Hi Chris, to be honest, I don't know much about Lymphoma, the best people to ask are your GP, oncologist or specialised nurse. However I was diagnosed with Malignant Melanoma and while on a Drug Trial I had problems with my stomach and anti sickness meds didn't help. My Oncologist suggested I try Actimel or any probiotic. I have been taking it ever since once a day. I developed Lymphoedema after a groin dissection and asked the Specialist Nurse if anything I was taking would make it worse. I gave her a list of my meds and told her I also took Actimel she assured me nothing I was taking could make it better or worse.

I think it is better to be safe than sorry, so I would ask a professional if I was you!

Thankyou will speak to someone today x 

I thought they would help with my digestive issues will ask today x Thankyou Chris 

Morning Hilo13, they do help your gut and bowels, they certainly help mine, but always good to talk to a professional

Hi not sure how to add to my post so thought I would answer you :) spoke to medical team no probiotics as they have live bacteria so that answers my question Thankyou x  Chris sorry to use you to answer my post 

Hi Chris, not a problem, I'm glad you have your answer, did your medical team offer any other options.

No I think I drew a short straw with them never mind at least they answered x Chris 

Hi Hilo, Glad you asked, you can't be too careful!

Just a quick update .i have been told by another member of the Haemotology dept that it is safe to take probiotics having been told not to take them . I am so confused and having read the thread about hospital care or lack of it I feel frightened about what’s ahead . I too had a very bad experience in hospital at the beginning of the year and have informed family that I don’t want to be admitted I  have a health directive and d n r in place . I think I will now contact my Gp and see what his take is. Best wishes to you all . Chris x 

Mixed signals aren't uncommon, I'm sure I was told prebiotics would help,  and im staying with them, I'm sorry your getting Mixed messages, it's not nice when you don't know who to believe,I hope you get some clarity soon.
