Question regarding strain of L. rhamnosus (w/response)

[Guest guest]

<<Because of reoccuring follicule infections (which I think are a result of a

damaged immune system from having taken Effexor) my doctor has outlined a course

of action that includes taking a probiotic. She recommended a brand that

contains the following:

L. rhamnosus 2.5 billion*

L. casei 2 billion*

L. acidophilus 2.5 billion*

B. longum 1 billion*

While researching what each strain does a concern arose about the L. rhamnosus.

It stated that generally it is beneficial, but has been also indicated as a

pathogen. Considering my already poorly functioning immune system is this a

strain I should avoid?

Is it true that various strains of probiotic should *not* be combined in the

same capsule due to the super strain dominating the weaker strains?

Thank you,

Dee>>

** No concern; better products are combo products. People saying this are

under misconceptions.
