    Because whenever I get sick the doctor gives me antibotics and I feel better

    There's a chance.. just a slight chance.. that some people didn't get the joke.

    @kemosabe: I hear fecal transplants work wonders too.

    I'm a pharmacist and read an article recently that some drug company is making a more publicly accepted version of this in capsule form - they're calling it RePOOPulate. No joke, that's seriously the name.

    I would seriously buy it. Fecal implants are actually proven to work in many cases. Probiotics taken orally as a supplement are quite iffy.

    they're not as bad if they're refrigerated. now... probiotics you DON'T have to refrigerate are probably BS.

    but hell, just drink Kefir or other live culture yogurt and fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, etc. or better yet, do both. :)

    ^^^THIS^^^ Pro-biotics along with a better diet are all that most people need. One of the problems with our high-sugar diets is that sugar kills off the good bacteria and promotes the bad ones (along with promoting nasty fungi as well). The human gut is lined with immune cells and those immune cells do not function well without the symbiotic relationship that they are supposed to have with intestinal bacteria. Sugar is a killer in a great many ways.

    Not sure if there is any valdity but considering the source I would guess this is mostly made up.

    LOL go ask your IIFYM friends about whether we need bacteria in our stomachs. They'll say yes.

    I was not debating that and after reading the post again I wasn't referring to your comment as the source. I was referring to mulb comments about sugar killing good bacteria and feeding bad bacteria and growing fungi in your stomach.

    Shows how much you know. Ever heard of candidiasis? No? Thought not. (And I didn't say "stomach," I said "gut" medical-speak for the "intestines.") You really shouldn't disparage the information offered by others when you don't understand what they have said.

    Probiotics help build up your digestive system. Some digestive disorders happen when the balance of bacteria in the intestines becomes disturbed. This can happen after an infection or after taking antibiotics. Intestinal problems can also arise when the lining of the intestines is damaged.“Probiotics can improve intestinal function and maintain the integrity of the lining of the intestines,”

    It's the amateur-biotics that you really have to look out for. Trying to get in the damn biotic olympics, appearing on all the Wheaties boxes, killing their career on Dancing With the Stars. It's sad really.
