What brand/type of probiotics are people using that work well?

I bought Culturelle, but a friend who is a nurse recommended this today, so I ordered it!

I bought http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F4WWI4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_6&smid=A2AFA41BFBRZV7 After comparing independent labs, these ranked third in three separate tests. They are cheap and i'll go with it.

Probiotics are the natural gut- intestinal flora that are part of your immune system. I would say that although yogurt is good, it.s not the best source of probiotics due to inadequate live cultures. If you do get approval to take one, there are many options but as with anything , you get what you pay for. I like Dr Ohiras and also Pearl Elite. Since we VSG patients have had essentially cut out part of our stomachs thru surgery, we need to replenish and maintain these essential " good" bacteria thru supplementation. They do seem to help with digestion / elimination and since I work in a medical clinic, protection from illnesses.

WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!

I have been taking a probiotic for the last five days and I am THRILLED to say that I have not one

I'VE.GOT.TO.CARRY.MY.ASS.TO.THE.BATHROOM.RIGHT.NOW incident since.

If you aren't taking them, and you regularly have poop emergencies, try them. I am cautiously optimistic, but so far, so good. I think I may be reclaiming my bowels.

im heading to a Water park and California and I CANNOT have an incident there.. I will shut down a whole hotel if so. I need these Probiotics tomorrow. Can I find them in stores??

[craigcu 96]

@@LipstickLady, did you have any adjustment time issues or were you good to go as soon as you started on the probiotic?

[winklie 518]

@craigcu You sure can at any CVS, the problem is that they are expensive and the quality varies wildly from one brand to the next. I mean it varies at an astounding rate, both the Probiotics Lipsticklady and I listed are very high quality, just do some research before hand and you should be okay.

I bought Culterelle with 15btu and they worked with no side effects first day. My stool was a bit "runny" first day but it wasn't urgent or explosive. By day three, things were normal. Target carries them.

This all sounds about right. Funny part is, I was always, always hot before. Even in dead of winter, house temp was at 60 degrees and I had fans going in my work office. Now I'm freezing nonstop and maybe - just maybe temp in the 80's isn't so bad. I'm with you. It's all a great trade off. I know what I can't eat, what I can and what I can tolerate. Just being able to wear something a friend does is a great feeling.

Thanks all for this great info. Started culture like today and ordered the Amazon ones delivered to my hotel for Monday..
