Does anyone know anything about probiotics? What's the best kind to take?

Question

I am having trouble with bacteria and reoccuring yeast infections. It was recommended i start taking probiotics however there are a number of different brands how do I choose. What am i looking for?

Answer 1

Kefir is good to take.

Answer 2

Yogurt doesn't have enough probiotics in it, and it's usually filled with sugar, which makes candida (yeast overgrowth) worse.

With a probiotic, definitely take one with Lactobacillus Acidophilus in it.  This is the type of friendly bacteria that lives in the small intestine and v****a.

Also, the best strain is DDS-1 Acidophilus (best quality).  It's also helpful if it has FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides), which support growth of friendly bacteria.

If you can find the Innovite brand at health stores, they are pretty good quality.

I believe you can also get some probiotic vaginal supplements.  You insert them to replenish the bacteria.  I got free samples from my doctor when I went for a similar problem.  I'm not sure if it's OTC...

Hope this helps!

I also got 1st place on the science project (I don't noe if that helps enhance your desicion)

I use bifidophilus flora force and it is great! I use it for upset stomaches and for eczema on my children. I order this from my web site at www.mynsp.com/jeniferharrod check it out whenever you want or write me a note about whatever concerns you are having in this area.
