What are the BEST probiotics to buy? what brands?
I know a lot of people used to recommend the probiotic Pearls. Not sure if that's still the probiotic of choice. :) One advantage is that it's easily available.
Primal Defence Ultra and Align are two other brands that I've heard mention a lot.
If you can handle dairy, you can look for probiotic shots in the yogurt aisle, as well as kefir, and other yogurts with a lot of probiotics in it. I believe "Activia" now makes a greek yogurt as well.
Lap-Band June 14, 2001. Dr. Rumbaut, Monterrey, Mexico.
Lap-Band removed after 7 years and converted to Sleeve Gastrectomy on July 7, 2008 by Dr. Roslin. I've had three happy healthy Lap-Band babies.... and one VSG baby. 5 years out from revision to VSG. Gained 55 pounds in past 5 months, now considering DS. :(
All the best.

I just read your other post updating about how you're doing.
Try cutting back on fat. That seriously affects how often I go. I'm kinda bored of fat so have to take some to ensure I don't get constipated - early out it was such a novelty I'd eat whipped heavy cream with Splenda and then suffer with oil slicks - no accidents but plenty of trips to the bathroom.
I also do 6 x 600mg batches of calcium (mixture of calcium citrate and hydroxy apatite, AKA Vitacost Bone Booster Complex) plus plenty of iron and that's firmed things up a lot too.
I hope you find something that works for you soon.
