Apparently I must be going to one of those American doctors that don't know medicine. I recently had an ear infection and got terribly ill with full blown digestive distress for a number of days. Just now feeling a little better. I have heard of eating yogurt...but I didn't know there was a "probiotics" type pill or remedy. What is exactly are "proobiotics...
