Favorite probiotic?

Ben, 38

I have been taking Acidophilus Pearls for almost the last year.

You may want to do a search at the top of the page for "probiotics." There are tons of posts out there talking about probiotics. You may find some helpful info.

Primadophilus Reuteri all the way, affective, affordable, has helped with other issues...high cholesterol, lactose intolerance and for women it even aids with vaginal health...it has guaranteed intestinal release which is likely why for me it's so affective...only downside is it must be kept cold at all times, but it's worth it.

My bum is broken....there's a big crack down the middle of it!  LOL  :)

study after study shows that uc'ers are deficient in bifido bacteria-- so load up on those. Nature's Way Bifidus probiotics, and Kyodophilus are awesome. I also take the pearls.

I used to take VSL #3. However, it is expensive. After reading pb4's posts about Primadophilus Reuteri, I have switched to it and it seems to be working okay.
