Re: Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidus

Marilyn

I

have seen your correspondence on these boards about this subject with other

people. Of course you have a right to make your point but I would politely

suggest you must allow others to make theirs.

Bifidobacterium

are normal inhabitants of the GI tract. If people get sick from taking them

then perhaps they have Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) for which they

can be tested for. And if they do have SIBO then they would then be advised to

deal with that issue. If on the other hand someone is deficient in

bifidobacterium, as in my case, they could also become very sick.

One

of the most researched and successful probiotics is Align which is B.Infantis.

Read the reviews for it on Amazon for it, so many people get great benefit for

it. In fact only tonight I was talking to someone who had horrible digestive

issues for several years and they are all now resolved due solely to taking

Align.

There

are many places to see good reports for taking Bifidobacterium, one of which is

here http://www.probiotics-lovethatbug.com/bifidobacterium.html

Many

people here get sick from eating yoghurt and cannot tolerate it………………………….but

that isn’t illegal, in fact quite the opposite.

I

was merely pointing out to Ozgur that he should weigh up the options for

himself and then decide.
