It was recommended by a leading breastfeeding and medications

expert, and I was taking it for a breastfeeding issue (thrush). Since

I was diagnosed with crohn's, I have not found any indication that

there is a stronger or better one, so I stick with it.

1 a day for maintenance, maybe 2 if I am on antibiotics.

Heard about it here, looked up the research on it and it looked

encouraging. Started using it and it helped my colitis (~10 trips to

the bathroom per day before down to ~2 trips after) so continued it.

1 double strength packet per day (900 billion bacteria). I mix it into

yogurt to take it, and have been using it as a starter for my own home

made yogurt. It works great!

I didn't add info on it, sorry- it has 10 billion live cells at time

of use, it is foil packaged, and contains Lactobacillus acidophilus.

Lactobacillus bulgaricus. Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus

GG. Costs around $20 for a 30 day supply.
