Your thoughts on probiotics

I'm not generally one to jump on the bandwagon, but I thought I would just see what everyone's thoughts are on probioticssince I've been seeing a lot about it online recently and I don't know much about it. I'm just wondering what kind of experiences people have had with it.

Thanks in advance!

    They help me be more regular, but that's as far as it goes.

    They did not help me lose weight - in case that is what you are after.

    I think they're most beneficial for those who have digestive and immune system issues. They have helped my gut symptoms some.

    They are good for your gut if taken as recommended. They can also help keep some people regular.

    Good to take while taking antibiotics. Otherwise yogurt does the same thing for most people.

    My doctor says I need to take them, so I do.
    She has never mentioned them as being important to weight loss.

    That's what I think too. And way too expensive for the small benefit IMO.

    If you want the best, you have to make it yourself. I have both milk kefir and sugar kefir, they are very simple to make.
