Which probiotics do you use?

[digestable]

I'm trying to gather together some information for a new site, insidetalk.org.uk, which is focussed on digestive issues.

I'm trying to find which probiotics people use, what conditions they have, and what the active ingredients are, so there's some sort of cross-reference and "buyers guide" for people deciding which probiotic they should try.

Obviously it's still down to personal choice, but I think this information is missing and I'd like to put something together.

Anyone have any feedback?

I think this is a great idea because I have been wondering what the best brands and combinations of probiotics are myself. I have crohn's and am currently using Culturelle, 2 capsules a day instead of one. Seems to be helping but I have no idea if it's the probiotics or not. As you can see from my signature everything in my body is a bit out of whack right now! But will be very interested to see what results you turn up! Thanks!

There is an earlier thread HERE on the probiotics that people recommend. It might contain some useful information for you.

That's great. Thanks Susan. Please keep them coming everyone. The response is really good.

Dx Crohns colitis - I have 2 Yakult + 1 Danone probiotic drink every morning.. Life has become infinitely better since I started regular probiotics. Am investigating VSL3.. On the one hand, am tempted because many on the forum recommend it.. On thehttps://www.mja.com.au/system/files/issues/188_05_030308/pha10499_fm.pdf other "if it ain't broken, don't fix it".. Things seem fairly stable for me ATM.

I've been diagnosed with Crohn's in the Colon, and I use Whole Foods 365 Probiotics. I would like to try the "more expensive" stuff, but alas my budget is restricting that right now. Seems to work just fine. Take one in the morning and one at night.
