My oB said to lay it thick!<br /> It worked for me and took me from nothing to being able to do one feeding a day. Ultimately though, my issues were to severe for anything to help:/<br /> Anyways--take a probiotic with it, unless you like vaginal infections;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brewers-yeast#post-547208 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 13:45:24 +0000 kiddosc 547208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: some people are fine with fenugreek and some people get gassy. I tried fenugreek capsules once and the more milk plus liquid another time and had to stop both because it gave both E and I gas and other unpleasant digestive upset. Pumping whenever I can and hand expressing after pumping has helped to re-up my supply when it's dropped but I still struggle and haven't found any miracle supplement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brewers-yeast#post-547179 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 13:30:36 +0000 matador84 547179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It tastes gross. I'll try beer tonight! Desperate! I don't have enough milk for daycare tomorrow. Took fenugreek for 10 weeks, been on reglan for 3. Took a z pack this week due to strep and it killed my supply. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brewers-yeast#post-547150 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 13:18:00 +0000 hellobeeboston 547150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: I don't think so - maybe a little? But I haven't been taking it religiously - I am starting to now though, I will let you know... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brewers-yeast#post-547063 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 12:23:25 +0000 JerricaBenton 547063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know you could use it to boost supply! I used to take it for added protein. I liked to sprinkle it on pasta, salads or oatmeal.</p> <p>ETA: I just realized what I took was nutritional yeast - I think the taste is different, it's like nutty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brewers-yeast#post-547003 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 11:43:47 +0000 pastemoo 547003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally unhelpful but--- beer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brewers-yeast#post-546914 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 11:00:17 +0000 MaisyMay 546914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: Does fenugreek make you gassy? I've heard it can, so I've avoided it, but am still interested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brewers-yeast#post-546907 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:59:05 +0000 hellobeeboston 546907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: I may be in the same boat! My supply is so weak! I am going back to work tomorrow and am worried! I just pumped and only got 2 oz, used to get 4 in the morning and he eats 4oz! Ahh! Maybe I will check out this brewers yeast and make some cookies....</p> <p>I'm taking fenugreek too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brewers-yeast#post-546882 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:49:24 +0000 MaisyMay 546882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put it in cookies with oatmeal and flax seed. It works. Tastes funky not in something though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brewers-yeast#post-546820 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:18:32 +0000 travelgirl1 546820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got some this week and made cookies with it. But I know other people sprinkle it into their food. To be honest I hate the taste so the cookies work best for me and I did find it made a difference : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brewers-yeast#post-546811 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:16:01 +0000 Weagle 546811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cookies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brewers-yeast#post-546674 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 08:13:23 +0000 matador84 546674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like its my last resort! For those of you who've used it, how much how often and what did you mix it into? </p>
