Guest guest Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I live in Canada and was wondering does anyone have a brand name for the probiotics they take. I started taking some calcium but it really upsets my stomache any suggestions. rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Beware of calcium supplements which are in the carbonate form. Taking that form, especially at meals, reduces the stomach acid to levels that prevent your digestive enzymes from working. You should look for a supplement that is bound with an organic acid like citrate. That form does not neutralize stomach acid and is more readily absorbed. Other possible choices would include the mixed acids (fumarate, maleate, succinate), gluconate and ascorbate. One common idea about the cause of reflux disease is that the stomach acid is not sufficient for proper digestion, resulting in prolonged secretion of acid. > > I live in Canada and was wondering does anyone have a brand name for the probiotics they take.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I take Natren ...as its dairy free & professional strength ...but it does grow the friendlies on chickpea flour ( illegal) they help me & my boss sells them to me for $22 ( they retail for $40!) for 90 caps ...that & kimchee/fermented veggies ..for dairy free friendlies ... I think Custom Probios sells dairy free ( or maybe Kirkman?) but they wouldn't guarantee it would arrive chilled & the shipping & exchange would do me in price wise!! I have checked 1/2 dozen different HFS & there aren't any "legal" ones there --they all have fos & inulin & too many varieties of bacteria etc ..are you in Eastern Canada? available may be different way out there ...cheers, gisele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
