I've been getting alot of questions about probiotics.  Here is just one of the many articles you can read about them, if you google probiotics and the WLS patient http://www.blazeonline.com/wls/?p=624.  You can buy them at any health food store.  The ones you buy should be refrigerated.  It is a live culture that requires it to be cold to still be alive.  If its on the shelf don't buy it. It is a very small capsule.  I take one a day I know DS patients that take them 3 times a day.  On the bottle it says 1-2 per day.  I have gotten results with one in the am, 30 before food with a glass of water.  They are cheap to expensive, depending the brand you buy.  I encourage you to google probiotics and read some of the articles.  Knowledge is power.  Do I think they are a cure for constipation?  Probably not, although they have helped me.  In the articles I've read WLS patients that take probiotics loose more weight.  I've only been taking them for 3 weeks so I can't say if this is true.  Again read some articles and decide what you think.  Have a great day! ;) Lou

Hi,

I'm Nancy G. and am scheduled for 9/11/09 w/ Dr. Hornbostel.

I am taking  probiotic via DanActive  Immunity.  I drink one in AM.  Usually found in Grocery
Store with yogurts.  Must be kept refrigerated.  Comes in several flavors and tasts very
good w/3 g protein and 1.5 fat(no trans fat).  I'm not crazy about another pill.  Having this
surgery to get rid of  all meds and shots.

Hope you liked Dr H as much as I do.
