Collin Gow, C.N.C. is a certified nutritional consultant who has been working in the fields of health and nutrition for 13 years and researching for over 20 years. Collin is currently employed at Abby's Health and Nutrition consulting and educating in the Tampa Bay area. Question: Hey Collin. You recommended a product called ButyrAid to me for helping to stay asleep through the night. It smells like spoiled milk. Is that normal? Collin: Yes. That is how it is supposed to smell. Butyric acid is what gives butter its characteristic smell and flavor. So, the ButyrAid should smell like butter/dairy. Question: I have repeated UTI s. Can you recommend a preferred probiotic, urine bacteria prevention? I have incontinence also. Presently taking ybetriq (cost a fortune), cranberry juice. Collin: One of the side effects of Myrbetriq is U.T.I.s, so I would probably wean off of that medication as soon as possible. U.T.I.s are usually caused by E. coli from fecal contaminated animal foods, especially any form of meat or animal flesh. Eat a more plant-based diet, consume less animal foods, and try 6 capsules per day of the Urinary-X supplement from Life Seasons for 1 to 2 weeks. The Jarro- Dophilus Vaginal Probiotic would be a good choice for a probiotic. Follow the directions on the product. Pumpkin Seed Oil may help with incontinence. We carry that in soft gels. Follow the directions on the bottle. Hopefully that helps. Question: I have swelling in my ankles, and it is painful. Why do you think that is happening and what do you suggest for that? A: That may be caused by peripheral edema/angioedema from a blood pressure medication such as an ACE inhibitor or calcium channel blocker. If you're not on a blood pressure medication, then it may be from an electrolyte deficiency, such as a potassium deficiency. Other causes could be from chronic venous insufficiency or poor kidney function. What I recommend depends on what the cause is and I cannot treat, diagnose, prevent, or cure any disease or condition. However, I may be able to give you tools and/ or a direction to go in to help you heal yourself. Your doctor may help provide tools as well and should be consulted before making any changes. For further guidance, give Abby's or your doc a call. TampaDentalCare.c m 1201 West Linebaugh Avenue Tampa, Florida 33612 813.933.5365 David F.
