Name your Probiotic

Hello folks,

I am using VSL#3 DS and Benebiotics (Now Nexabiotics). I know there are some users of Florastor here. Some also take S. boulardii. I would like to know which other brands of probiotics folks use.

Thanks.

P.S. - Not interested in shelf brands like Align.

VSL #3 DS since early 2010. Two packs (sometimes one) during good times and four/day in flares.

Briefly tried Florastor during a flare and didn't notice anything either way.

I have made VSL #3 yogurt and oddly enough seems to cause more problems than helping.

VSL#3 DS for me. Taking 2 packs a night but does not seem to be helping me out of a flair.

I started out with Webber then Jamieson when I was on a long course of antibiotics for sinus issues in 2000.

I soon seriously switched to  Natural Factors Protec capsules or a few years.

Then switched to what's in my signature...Renew Life Ultra Flora Critical Care (50 billion).
As well as Primadophilus Reuteri capsules.

I do add one of the Costco Multi probiotic most nights...just because we have them.

All taken at bedtime about an hour after my meds/supplements.

I now give my cat the New Roots Max probiotic powder each feeding.

I use floracorGI + s. boulaardi.

I use a few and always rotate them:

scdophilus
s. boulardii
prescript assist
benebiotics

kefir and yogurt are my biggest probiotics so i don't use probiotic supplements as much anymore.

Natren's Healthy Trinity and Custom Probiotics' six strain powdered blend are two that I alternate. The CP six strain blend is the one I credit with bringing me out of my year-long initial flare.

If you read up on Amazon, it has helped a lot of people with gastro problems, even other problems like candida, acne, etc

To PK-
You said "Its best to blitz your system with different probiotics then to take any single one long term."

Are you saying it's best to use a probiotic containing several strains? or it's best to change brands?
I've been taking Benebiotics (18 strains including S. Boulardii) for a long time.
Would you suggest alternating with another brand?
Any favorites?
Thanks,
IAS

PS: Just realized that Benebiotics is now Nexabiotics (20 strains). Have ordered 6 months supply each time so don't know when that happened ??
