Question

Does anyone take a probiotic and If so what one is the best?  

Answer 1

I had a bad post surgical infection that required weeks of daily IV antibiotic therapy. The antibiotics destroyed the good bacteria in my stomach and my infectious disease doctor advised me to take probiotics. He told me that the quality of all probiotics was essentially the same. An expensive brand was no better than a cheaper one. Hope that helps

Answer 2

I really like Floragen. You have to ask the pharmacist for it. It’s kept in the refrigerator.

Florastor—I prefer it because it’s non refrigerated.

@jacob is that a powder or a pill? Any suggestions on where to find it? Actually i just googled it and it is a milk drink. And we cannot have it. We are dairy free and in some cases gluten free ugggg but thank you so much for the help will keep looking.

@brita Foley just google where to buy in your area. Starting kit is usually fresh kefir about $20. Mines been going for a couple years now. Best thing ever. Tastes like sour yoghurt but you can google and buy flavours to add. You won’t have any candida/thrush in your system if you take this daily. I prefer the milk kefir, but it can be made with, almond milk rice milk , water.

@brita Foley also as it grows and you get lots it makes a great gift for people to start their own. Google and read up on it.
