Theyre good intestinal bacteria that live in Ur gut and help break down food and help Ur body get the most nutritional value out of what U eat .
Theyre called acidophilus and its cousins and are traditionally used to make yogurt.( but most yogurts now are sold pasteurized ( Activia is an exception but the number of active cultures is very small) which means the few cultures originally in them have been killed so are useless) .
U can buy probiotics in GNC or the Vitamin Shoppe in either capsule or chewable form.
They really help reduce gas ... make Ur skin GORGEOUS and SMOOTH... and U don't have to take them that often because they are live cultures so they reproduce on their own.
If U buy one GOOD bottle of refrigerated probiotics from Ur health food store ( with a variety of bacteria ) and take a pill say every two weeks ( after taking one every day at first fora few days to get started) ... it should work fine .. at least it does for me with my RNY .
Keep the bottle in the refrigerator ! Thats important to keep the little guys alive
I eat tons of broccoli and beans and gas producing stuff and usually people dont complain.
If U ever have to take antibiotics just take the pills again for a few days ....the antibiotics kill these good bacteria too .
I personally think having good bacteria in Ur gut helps keep Ur weight down because U need to EAT less to get the nutrition Ur body needs ....
good luck hugs
