Anyone use acidophilus?

This is something that worked for me many years ago when I had gut issues. Of course, that was before my Crohn's DX. Does this work for anyone now? The kind I used to take was a DDS-100 - it has to be refrigerated.

I use some probiotics and I make my own home made yoghurt to help my intestines to have a better immunesystem. You can order vitamines, minerals and probiotics on the net or buy it in a healthstore, and you can always choose probiotics that don't need refridgerator or to keep cold while shipping. The probiotics that helps a lot are: primadophilus reuteri, lactobacillus acidophilus, lactobacillus casei rhamnosus GG, often called LGG, and also bifidobacterium lactis.

There is also a sort of yeast that is called Saccaromyces Boulardii, is supposed to break down the bacteria clostridium difficile (animal trials shows this), but this is not good to use if you have got fungemi problems.

The best,

I use the lactobacillus acidophilus at night. And the Digestive Advantage Lactose Intolerant probiotic in the a.m.
