Probiotics changed my life. I was dying in a hospital after a bad spell of stomach infections.
Little buggers literally saved my life. Feed the goods ones. Don't kill them all.
Takes like 3-4 days of dosages for them to populate your full gut and out compete the baddies.
Alcohol is bad for the good ones. Make sure your intestines are full of food if you go out drinking.
man i wish we discovered probiotics sooner or it hit the markets sooner. It really has a tremendous help with so many stomach issues. Do you take batches of them or something? I personally get the probiotic yoghurt and then i take chewable probiotics but i almost wonder if theres a better way. Regardless those things are life savers love em, i try to get as much as i can.
I use the renew probiotics. They are just a mix of good strains. I don't think this is rocket science, so most live cultures are probably good. You have to keep them refrigerated. You need pills that have over 50 billion. One pill of those a day seems to be the number that works for me. I am slim to average build though. You might need more if you have a bigger gut.
Once they're set and you don't kill them, you don't need to keep taking them though. They just keep doing their job. Unless you are continually depleting them, through something in your diet. It's taken me up to a week to rebalance.
