Guest guest Posted April 13, 2001 Report Share Posted April 13, 2001 Tommy had a colonoscopy yesterday (he was such a trooper, did much better with the whole procedure than I had imagined), and is now completely " cleaned out " . I'd like to start him on pro-biotics immediately, and have run out of the usual brand which I mail-order. Which health food store brands would be acceptable on the diet? Thanks , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2001 Report Share Posted April 13, 2001 Culturelle is one of the best brands. We get it at Long's Drugs in our part of the country.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2001 Report Share Posted April 13, 2001 Jeannie, Personally, I think Kirkman's pro bio gold is the best due to multiple strains of good bacteria, yeast and bacteria fighter, gfcf, etc. Tested and suppose to be high quality, adheres to mucosal lining etc. We give my son one in the morning and one at night and it works well. Have to order it from Kirkmans though. More stress on the budget though but a part of this whole diet really. hang in there, Re: GFCF probiotics > > > > > Tommy had a colonoscopy yesterday (he was such a trooper, did much better > > > with the whole procedure than I had imagined), and is now completely > > " cleaned > > > out " .

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2001 Report Share Posted April 13, 2001 EnZymAid is Kirkman's second generation product similar to Lactobacillus GG/Culturelle. With Kirkman's you have to refrigerate it. With Culturelle, each capsule is separately sealed so that it does not have to be refrigerated. You can carry a package with you every where. I had a couple that got punctured and the ingredients shriveled up to hard useless solid substance. I certainly knew that particular capsule was useless and it proved to me the difference between the good and bad capsules. I have also used EnZymAid. In fact it is the last one that we have used. I have heard some say that Culturelle is stronger but I do not remember just who said it. It is not always easy to find Culturelle because not every drug store carries it but Kirkmanlabs is just as far away as your computer or telephone.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2001 Report Share Posted April 14, 2001 Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply. I want to try pro-bio Gold, but will run out to the store to get some Culturelle for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2001 Report Share Posted April 14, 2001 Yup, perhaps you did not catch my correction. Up too late on the computer is my only defense. Betty Re: GFCF probiotics Betty, just checking, but are you comparing Kirkman's PROBIOGOLD with Culturelle? I thought Enzymaid was for breaking down gluten and casein proteins and I didn't know it needed to be refrigerated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2001 Report Share Posted April 14, 2001 Sorry Betty, I did not get the correction until after I sent the post. I can so relate to the late nights on the computer - it almost makes you wonder how we ever did without it Lorrie Re: GFCF probiotics > > > Betty, just checking, but are you comparing Kirkman's PROBIOGOLD with > Culturelle?

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2001 Report Share Posted April 24, 2001 I'm very new at this so this question may seem stupid, What is culturelle for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
