If your under 18, what is the best dosage for acidophilus?

Question

Im under 18 and i currently take this medication(once a day), but how much do i take, and is it bad to have your stomach hurt a little after taking it?

Answer 1

If you like your milk.  They make acidophilus milk.  Most groceries have it in stock.  It's usually in a paper carton.  If your grocery store does not carry it the health food stores do. Yogurt is good to.  I am assuming the reason is yeast.  If so, wear loose clothing, keep the area cool and dry.  Are you on BC pill?  That can worsen the problem.  They also make a prescription cream to help prevent an infection if you can figure what time of the month you get it.  It can run with your hormonal changes through the month.   Hope this helps.  

Answer 2

i take one a day every morning. my stomach hurt at first but its fine. they taste like vanilla...

Answer 3

Just try to eat one cup of yogurt a day and your good

Answer 4

You didn't indicate why you are taking it.

Yogurt is much tastier and you are adding calcium to your daily intake.  

I like to mix about 1/2 cup granola in with mine, and I get my cereal and my milk at the same time. The enzyme action in yogurt is basically the same as taking the acidophilus caps.

There are so many different types and kinds of yogurt, but I like the plain, fat free vanilla, myself.  Second choice is lemon custard or peach.
