Hello my lovely LW's

Those of you that use probiotics.......have you noticed a difference? Do they keep "things moving" along? Ha! Do you feel better?

I'm about to place my vit. order and was thinking about tryin' it out!

TIA

Please tell me what probiotics are?  I have heard them mentioned in the wls world, but just do not know what they are.

I'm with Ruby...what is that? I'm thinking it has something to do with going to the bathroom with the "things moving" along??

Probiotics just add the "good bugs" to our systems. We RNYrs and DSrs tend to produce plenty of "bad bacteria" due to our malabsorption of food, so the probiotics help balance things in our systems to help with gas and bathroom issues.

They work wonders if you don't already have a bacterial overgrowth. I use Primal Defense Ultra but everyone is a little different and different ones work best for different folks.

My new multi-vitamin by Rainbow Light has a good dose of probiotics in them.  I've just started using them last week so I don't know if there will be a difference or not.  In the past, I only took them if I was taking an antibiotic to replace the good bacteria in my system.  A good organic yogurt that hasn't been processed too much also has great bacteria to add to our system.

I crashed last night after I posted this.....ha! I went ahead and ordered some.  We will see if they help keep things regular.  Thanks ladies!
