Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I'm thinking of trying high doses of acidophilus to help with my stubborn constipation problem, but I just heard that FOS might not be a good idea. Do you think it's the case that it feeds more bad bacteria than it does good? The acidiophilus I have that I thought was high quality both have FOS. The DDS-PLUS Acidophilus Bifidus-FOS isn't clear on the amount, but the HMF Replete has 9 grams of FOS per 10 billion each of acidophilus, bifidus and bulgaricus. I did find I also have another one by Nature's Sunshine but was surprised to see the first ingredient has Maltodextrin! There's no FOS in this one, but no idea why they would use maltodextrin. Anyway, can any of these be used or shall I just scrap them all? Thanks, Elyse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
