Acidophilus :happy: ! Someone told me that if I am dieting that I really need to start taking these! I am also starting the 17 day diet and it is big on you getting your probiotics. What is the story with this and does anyone take them and give me some insight into them :flowerforyou: ?

    They help your digestion system :) I got nasty food poisoning once and took massive amount of Acidophilius and I was fine within hours.

    It is a 'friendly' bacteria but a bigger & more effective dose than the pro-biotic yogurt/drinks. I have been taking it for years & have to say it has helped with my digestive system & is brilliant when I have had to take antibiotics as it gets the good stuff back in your system quicker. Def recommend :)

    I love acidophilus, its better than any softner or laxitive ever. If you are getting out of whack digestively from food changes or from falling off the wagon and eating a big mac, it will straighten things back out.

    Also great to take preventatively when on antibiotics to avoid intestinal side affects or yeast infections.
  • I take it everyday! It really helps me to regulate my system (hope this is not TMI) lol!
