who here talks probiotics regularly? 

I haven't but might start. I was reading about them lately after several articles in the Food Renegade blog led me to various books talking about all the affects of your GI tract health and the rest of you: mood, disorders like ADHD, etc.

Sublimate, I thought of you because one of the books mentioned how nicely their findings fit in with the paleo diet.

Gut and Psychology Syndrome

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.

PM me if you are interested in either of these.

I do. I've been taking 1 primal defense ultra since postop. I started because I had an infected incision and was on massive antibiotics and then developed thrush, so that told me that my flora was all out of wack! and I've just stayed on them.

I think it makes a world of difference and if I forget to take it, I just don't feel the same. I also have major issues with constipation so it helps there too. According to label directions, you are supposed to take 3 a day, and I haven't done that yet. Don't know if it would make even more of a difference...

Yes, I highly recommend them.  They help you get the most of the food you eat and combat the many things that throw off our intestinal balance. I recommend taking ones that you keep refrigerated and enteric coated as this helps you get more of the probiotics into the intestine and past harsh stomach acid environment.  I also vary the strains of probiotics that I take.  I take 3 different brands with different strains because our intestines have many strains.

 you want to just say what brands and amounts you take? I am lazy & just want to take someone's advice rather than research any more. I'm tired!

Yes, I like this brand:

http://www.amazon.com/Multidophilus-12-Strains-Enterically-Coated/dp/B000I4FDA0/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1311984818&sr=8-10

 and this one

http://www.amazon.com/Natures-Way-Primadophilus-Probiotic-Capsules/dp/B0019CRU0Q/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1311984884&sr=8-19

 You can get both and alternate them.
