I prefer to get my probiotics through food. i drink homemade kombucha and water kefir daily as well as eat a multitude of homemade fermented vegetables. When not Whole30ing, I eat homemade raw milk yogurt as well. I don't know that I see a huge change on a daily basis, I have been consuming these items for a number of years however, but last year when I my husband and I went to India, it was the first time that neither of us had any tummy issues what soever. i do think that was the result of the good bacteria in my gut. I think generally you will simply digest things better and have lower case of intestinal distress. IMHO

Additionally, WOW! 10 courses in 3 months? Girl, get as many probiotics as you can, get those guts straightened out. If you like sauerkraut you can purchase Bubbie's or Wildbrine brands and try to have a serving or two a day. Give kombucha or water kefir a try too so you can get a broader spectrum of good bacteria going. it won't hurt to combine these foods with your oral tablet either.

Thanks! Never heard of kombucha and water kefir! Interesting!

they are drinks made from probiotic cultures. You can find them commercially at Whole Foods or higher end health food stores. If you ever come across them, give 'em a try, sooooo good!

I'm using food too. I eat some fermented veggies but I need to get more committed with making them myself and experimenting more. I also make coconut milk kefir every week for my child and have taken to having a gulp of that occasionally or mixing some with frozen berries. Yum.

I've taken Dr. Mercola probiotics sometimes. As far as vitamins go, I think his are about the best. His multi stopped my foot cramps within 2 days of taking them. The kefir and veggie starter I use is from his site as well; I think it's called "Body Ecology". He also has a probiotic drink mix. I'm not fond of it but my kid eats one either just the powder or mixes it in water herself. She does it a few times a week without me saying anything to her so that's cool.
