Probiotics

[tammy]

Our local health food store ran out of our effective probiotic(acidophilus etc.) Now we are looking for a new brand that works!

Your help is greatly appreciated!

I was never happy with any of the supplements I bought, so now I drink kefir. I know it is kept cold and will always have live bacteria in it. I get the Helios gluten free plain from my health food store.

Definitely Kyo-D. I buy at my local health food store, but Wild Oats etc carries it too. It is in the refrigerated section. I like the amt and the strains--esp. appropriate ones for women. I always recommend this brand. Pills are very small and have never upset my stomach etc. (I took one that gave me issues once.) It is gluten-free/cf. Open Original Shared Link PS: Always keep an eye on the expiration dates...

Thank you so much for your reply! I do think that I will at least give it a try!

FYI- it is free of: gluten, soy, yeast

Important for so many people!

I had been using danone probiotics and then discovered that they contained wheat in the flavoured ones

Could you tell us more about the composition of kefir?

Thanks,

I love Bio-K

oceangirl, kefir is cultured milk (like yogurt) but has different bacterium that is supposed to be better for the intestines (i am casein free, so I am just going by what i know, not what I have tried). it also is supposed to battle out the bad bacterium from your bod more efficiently, as the bacteria present are 'stronger', and it has active yeast. marcia probably has more info, as she is the one who uses it!

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has experienced any negative reactions to probiotics? Until the past few days, the only dairy product I have been able to digest was yogurt that contained live cultures. I just bought Whole Soy & Co Vanilla Bean Organic Soy Frozen Yogurt and reacted badly to it, and now whenever I eat my regular yogurt (Danon Activa), I react badly to it, too. The frozen yogurt contains the following ingredients (note that there isn't any dairy in it at all):

• Organic soymilk
  
• Organic evaporated cane juice
  
• Organic soy oil
  
• Organic tapioca maltodextrine
  
• Organic vanilla extract
  
• Organic natural flavor
  
• Organic locust bean gum
  
• Organic guar gum
  
• Live active cultures (L. Acidophilus, B. Bifidum, L. Bulgaricus & S. Thermophilus)
  

Any suggestions as to what caused the problem with the soy frozen yogurt and/or the subsequent reaction to the regular yogurt? I appreciate your help in advance!
