When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

Whether you’re an old friend or a new acquaintance, welcome! The Whole Woman forum is a place where you can make a difference in your own life and the lives of thousands of women around the world!

Bowel flora
Some good quality probiotics might be a good jump-start in improving your intestinal flora, especially if you've had a recent round of antibiotics. But on the whole, eating a variety of fermented foods, at least a little something every day, is the way to go. Lots of discussions about that on the forum. My personal favorite is sauerkraut; it is so easy to add a little into whatever I'm eating for dinner. The real stuff.....fermented in brine, that you make yourself, or buy in the refrigerated section of a good store.....not the canned kind. - Surviving

Kombucha is great too, and it
Kombucha is great too, and it can be flavored. You can find it just about everywhere now in many flavors, or it is easy to make yourself. And, I agree about the sauerkraut. Just look up fermented foods on the web, where you will find many sources and ideas. Getting the processed junk out of your diet and fresh food in is a big help too, so those healthy flora can survive in the gut to begin with.

Oh man, I wish I could! I
Oh man, I wish I could! I have an allergic reaction to those foods, which was puzzling. I just found out it's called histamine intolerance. So weird! I have an extremely healthy diet already. I've been working on digestion for a long time, not realizing that bowel movements where problematic because of the rectocele. So I am a super healthy eater.

Probiotic foods
Probiotics can really deal with the rectocele effectively. That's why you need to add more probiotic foods in your daily diet. The best one is yogurt with various types at your disposal. Others includes:
Kefir
Sauerkraut (as surviving60 mentioned)
Tempeh
Kimchi (a traditional Korean food)
Miso
Kombucha (suggested by Aging gracefully above)
Pickles

Probiotic foods
Yogurt is not particularly probiotic unless you are making your own. Commercial yogurt is too processed; anything that was ever alive in there, is no longer! Not to mention the added sugar. You may find more healthful yogurt choices out there, in a health food store. Also make sure any soy products are organic and non-GMO. - Surviving
