What form of probiotics and how to take?

[Guest guest]

I think probiotics is important but don't know much about the proper form to

take and how to take it?

What does stomach acid do to probiotics?

Is it important whether you use bulk powder or tablet or caplet or enteric

coated?

Do you take it with meals or away from meals?

Which strains of probiotics are most useful? 

Does this depend on the individual as in those with problems digesting casein or

gluten taking something like Mindlinx?

That is a critical question. All good manufacturers put their PB in capsules

that resist stomach acid and open only after 8 hours so that the bacteria are

deposited in the gut.

Another problem is keeping the bacteria alive in the bottle. Most good product

requires refrigeration.

Yes...Don't break the capsule when you take PBs.

IMO, you should take it right after meals but some manufacturers recommend

taking it several hours after eating. Read the label on the jar for directions.

There are several strains needed by the body. I forget their names. Acidophilus

is the most popular and is the kind that is found in Yogurt.

Usually people with allergies need PBs. The allergens IMO are caused by

undigested food hitting the large intestine where they ferment and produce

toxins that cause the allergies. IMO we all need PBs because our diets are not

helpful in maintaining the colonies of bacteria in our guts.

Bernie,

I'd be happy to mail you a CD with the one of the world's top

probiotic formulators speaking. I have some files I can email you but

the CD really tops it all. Just email me a mailing address.

My daughter had severe stomach/bowel problems and his was the first

formula that actually worked from the dozens of brands (including

prescription ones) that we tried both in Europe and Canada. It's

organic and each generation of the bacteria is stressed (for 20 years

now) so it's very stable, doesn't die before it gets to where it's

supposed to go and it forms colonies in the bowels.

Our experience with her was that when she detoxified the mercury her

good bacteria stopped dying off and she no longer needs to take it.
