Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has experimented with the probiotic

Culturelle ? It is supposed to be designed to withstand stomach acid

and make it to the GI tract intact. I did a search of the archives

but there was no mention of it.

My doc really likes Culturelle, which is Lactobacillus GG (LGG).

Apparently it's a patented form which resists stomach acid better

than the average. Culturelle is the only probiotic in the U.S that

contains LGG. I've used it, seems effective but I haven't used it

enough to know if it's better than average. I've noticed, as have

friends, that probiotics will seem to work for a while, then lose

effectiveness. So we always rotate them.

I was looking at culturelle. Lactobacillus GG is one of the most

studied. It's probably a very good strain. Seems like they're charging

a lot tho.
