Good luck, and hope you feel better fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-probiotic#post-2725297 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 15:21:19 +0000 arosebyany 2725297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: I think technically the btu does matter, but they all have so many "billions" but most of them are only one or two stains. That what my health/fitness guru tells me 😊 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-probiotic#post-2725207 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 13:00:15 +0000 mrskansas 2725207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I had no idea about refrigerated probiotics! I'll go to Whole Foods after work and get some there.</p> <p>Thank you all! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-probiotic#post-2725191 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 12:33:11 +0000 littlejoy 2725191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can't get the brand I recommend (Klaire Labs) at a store ... but you'll want one with high culture counts (10 bil) and that's kept in a refrigerator before purchasing. </p> <p>I totally agree about fermented (raw) foods. </p> <p>@Jackiedavis87: Interesting! I've always heard you want high btu, but the multiple strains totally makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-probiotic#post-2725170 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 11:54:54 +0000 maddyz 2725170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also fermented foods like yogurt and home made sauerkraut (most in the store is no longer "live") are really great to also help (take the probiotic too). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-probiotic#post-2725155 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 11:39:17 +0000 arosebyany 2725155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have a health food store, the best ones to get are in the refrigerator. You want one that has at least 5 bacteria strains. The BTU doesn't matter as much as how many strains there are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-probiotic#post-2725146 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 11:19:45 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2725146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now I'm on Align, which my GI recommended trying after I was on VSL3 for a long time (which is awesome but expensive and more for GI issues.) Also he recommended Philips (grocery store/Target) and BioK+ (refrigerated at Whole Foods.) Combine with Florastor, which is a yeast and can be taken with a bacterial probiotic. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-probiotic#post-2725072 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 09:57:35 +0000 mrskansas 2725072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happy Monday!</p> <p>I was diagnosed with a bad bladder infection on Saturday and am now on a heavy course of antibiotics. I'd like to start taking a probiotic but with so many options, I'm not sure what to get! Can you guys recommend one? Preferably something I can get at Target, Walgreens or Kroger since I'd like to start it today.</p> <p>Thank you! </p>
