Probiotics?

[foodiegurl]

Do you take them, and which ones do you take? How many strains of bacteria? Vegetarian or not? Capsules or not?

Thanks =)

according to a book called Restoring Your Digestive Health by Rubin and Brasco, which I found recently (I started a topic on this to verify/deny this), some IBS sufferers have a problem with a bacteria called Streptococcus thermophilus. yesterday I went around seeing what yogurt products have it and found that almost all of them do. OTOH, I found several probiotic products which don't have it.

anyway, I thought I would throw out that warning.

I also drink Kiefer everyday, you don't think that taking a probiotic, plus a glass of Kiefer a day would be overkill, do you?

interesting to know about that specific bacteria. off to check my yogurt now.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm getting ready to try Healthy Trinity by Natren in the refrigerated section. Native Sun said they are the best ones that they sell.

I'm not sure what Kiefer is? However as far as taking too much probiotics from what I know that's not an issue. You cannot really go wrong as long as it's a refrigerated probiotic eccentric coated ~ 1 billion per capsule. For example if you have a yeast overgrowth (candida) the recommended dosage is around ~ 10 billion per day.

I take Vital nutrients probiotic and seems to help a lot.

have a problem with a bacteria called Streptococcus thermophilus.

Thanks for the heads up. I have 2 bottles of probiotics, One I can't use and just keep to remember not to buy it again.

The stuff I cannot use has Streptococcus thermophilus in it so that may be it.

I use PB8 A white bottle with blue writing. It is great when I overeat or get gassy, or get constipated. It seems like every few weeks I need a few days of probiotics or my digestion just does not work with comfort.

I take Solaray Multidophilus. Its dairy-free. 3 billion of acidophilus bifidum and bulgarius. I take like 4-6 a day in the morning or before bed. They help my digestion alot and also help with gas from raw veggies. I love them. Expensive, but a quality brand. Capsules and Vegetarian as far as I know.

I have been taking the Danactive stuff but just found out that it is not guranteed to be 100% gluten free so I quit taking it, in fact I was wondering why my stomach had been on the frits lately!

Goodluck!
