We are huge probiotic fans. The more they are finally accepted by the medical community the more I worry about our unfettered access to them. I know how to naturally incorporate them into my family’s diet, but I also like the convenience of a multi-billion packed pill or chewable.

I’ve been taking probiotics for years. And certainly I’ve known about taking them to counteract the bad effects of antibiotics on the intestines for many years.

I’m surprised that all doctors aren’t already aware of this.

chicory root tea, a little baking soda, then common acidophilus pearls.

Cheap as heck, and works.

Don’t do that megaBuck fecal transplant stuff.

If it doesn’t work after 3 or 4 times, also throw in the dilute psyllium husk/bentonite clay shakes —so easy, and cheap.

REALLY WORKS, though gradually.

Well after taking a fairly potent antibiotic dose for a substantial duration I can say I am none the worse for it and my thrice daily intake of kefir and yogurt certainly didn’t hurt. I believe in it. No fecal transplants in my future, thank you very much. Who would want a leftist grafted into them anyway— to what end?
