Hydroxycut and protein

[moosecles]

I posted this in a different thread but it seems like its died out and no one responded, if you guys dont mind id appreciate anything ud have to say about this. About early/mid december i began using hydroxcut. I took small doses up untill the 3rd week or so, it kept giving me diareah from time to time. Then in about january i noticed a little blood on the toilet paper, then very few times at the end some in the toilet. I stopped using the product i went to a friend of the family's who uses alot of herbal remedies and such he was very close to getin a phd but because of money issues he couldnt. He told me it was because of the ephedrine and that i need to restore intestinal flora. So he recommende i pickup acidopholus tablets, as well as taking 1 yogurt upon waking up and 1 before bed. I got the pills and the yogurt came about a week later, i didnt take the pills though ( i know stupid) because there was no blood after i stopped takin the hydroxycut. I eat alot of fibre and whole grain foods then 1 week later i started cell-tech ( i know :|). Everything was fine with cell-tech and then i picked up protein (opti nutrition). When cell-tech ran out i got a diff brand of creatine, i resumed taking in the protein etc. i did take protein before i went to bed, i duno why but mostly post workout with creatine. The man also told me not to eat spicy foods, which i didnt but 2 days ago in a sub there were some hot peppers i didnt think much of it. Yesterday though earlier on in the day i saw a litttle tiny bit of light blood on the paper, as well as direaha, and later in the day diareha again at the end with a little blood in the toilet. So im thinking im gonna stop the creatine and protein for 2 weeks and actually take those acidophilus pills, maybe my intestines never really recovered. By the way im lactose intolerant... but i was told and read that opti nutritions 100% whey was relaly low in lactose. Anyone have any feedback or thoughts and what i can do ?

thank you

Your intestines are inflamed which is causing the blood in the stool.

Starting the acidophilus supplement is a great idea. Acidophilus is one of the 'good bacteria' that lives in your intestines and promotes optimal gi tract health.

Although the amount of lactose in optimum nutrition protein is low, it is still enough to cause gastric distress and inflammation of the intestines. You want to be using a pure whey isolate that contains no lactose like isolation from n2bm.com
