Probiotics

[CinderToriella]

Do you take them? Do you find they work for you? what brand do you use?

I take inner health plus - 1 capsule per day. It was recommended by my chemist as I have issues with recurring thrush. It does help. Often if I can feel the thrush coming, I take an extra capsule for 2 or 3 days and it goes without further treatment.

I take them because I think everyone should daily along with Omgea3 I use Metagenics brand.

apparently the best ones to take are biogenics SB floractiv.....apparently they contain a strain of good bacteria that is only available in this brand nd it is super dooper awesome.....you can google for more technical info. I take them on the advice of both my doctor and naturopath and they are THE only ones that have succesfully kicked my recurrent thrush that I have had since I got pregnant so there must be something good in them!

Mel that one sounds great! There are so many different probiotics though, perhaps that particular one is great for thrush? I just had a look at the 3 I have got and they all have something different in them. One is just a dairy free probiotic, another is to boost the immune system and another I had in the 3rd tri and 1st month or so after DS was born and that apparently significantly reduces the likely hood of babies having skin conditions such as eczema. I took it because I had eczema and really want to do everything I could to prevent DS having it. The active ingredient in that probiotic is Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LGG). So Shell like all things I guess you just need to ask your health provider what one is best for you depending on what you want it for.

i take inner health plus, the chemist gave it to me when i asked for it. i spoke to my doctor as to whether or not there was a better one or over another and he said no, but i'm deifinetly going to look up melbels one!
i have severe reoccuring thrush, i basically just have to touch my hoochy too hard and the next day its there, but i havent had a bloom in about 3 weeks since i started taking them.
do i feel better otherwise?? hmm hard to say givin theres a little person on my belly and im super tired anyway
