Re: (Asthma) Probiotics Jan

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the info Jan.  I do take Kyo-Dophilus oocasionally which I checked and it contains bifidus (didn't realize it) and longum?.  I take it when my tummy's really off and I suspect there's bad bacteria at work in there. Says keep in cool,dry place although I've put in fridge.BarbAntibiotics kill off all the bacteria in your body, both good and bad. Probiotics tries to replace the good (friendly) bacteria (because we really need that - it helps our bowels work correctly and fights off yeast (candida) infections. You've probably been told to follow up your antibiotics with yogurt because yogurt has good bacteria. It takes a more concerted effort though to get your good bacteria restored.  Problem is that a lot of the good bacteria we take is lost in the stomach acids and so you need to buy a bottle of acidophilus with bifidus (vitaminshoppe.com makes a chewable that is room temperature stable.  I also take L. Reuteri afterwards because that is very helpful to a healthy colon enviroment.  I prefer to buy brands that claim they are room temperature stable because I find it difficult to believe that the brands that require refrigeration were actually kept cold during every step of the shipping process. Natures sunrise makes a! n L. Reuteri that doesn't require refrigeration.
