Probiotics, yay or nay?

mrslantu2020

I have heard a lot about the benefits of taking a probiotics pill. Anyone have any experience with this? Any information would be appreciated, as I don't want my primary informer to be Google!

Here's a great article that should clear things up for you

Yes.

Probiotic foods throughout the day (yogurt, fermented foods like raw sauerkraut, kefir, etc)

Prebiotic foods that provide fiber for the bugs to grow in, too.

I end up feeling kind of nauseous if I don't eat yogurt every day or two, so that most likely has something to do with probiotics. The supplements I only really take when I'm actually sick and on antibiotics, though my mom does take them regularly. I think you should try them, and you'll be able to tell whether you feel better afterwards or not.

I've been taking probiotics on and off for so many years I can't even say if tell if they make a positive difference or not..

I do know that if i take antibiotics and am not also taking probiotics at the time i will 100% end up with thrush. So they are definitely a life saver in this instance.

i take them, drink them, eat them in yogurt, kimchi, and other fermented foods. My dr prettt much "makes" me due to my bowels having no interest in getting things moving. I have a pretty shot immune system and most of your immune system is in your digestive track. Still not sure if it does anything. Good bacteria aint gonna hurt so oh well.

I eat acidophilus wafers, they come in strawberry and blueberry flavors from whole foods, very tasty.

Yogurt has probiotic and acidophilus in it too

I've never taken them and I have no problems with my gut or bowls.

I take the Renew Life brand. Won't ever go back to a drug store brand again. My inflammation is reduced dramatically. Costcondritis under control and bathroom issues are gone. Only drawback is the better the quality they need to be refrigerated. Yogurt bothers my stomach.

If you ever take antibiotics, take probiotics after you stop taking antibiotics to re-build your good bacteria.
For losing weight = waste of money.

My doctor has recommended that I take a probiotic everyday, but never at the same time as the antibiotic as they interfere with each other. Also make sure you take one that can get passed the stomach or eat natural foods that contain them to bypass that
