Can any of you share what probiotic you currently use? I need some recommendations...my current probiotic isn't working as well.  Thanks!

My doctor recommends VSL #3.

My LLMD has me taking Claire's Ther-Biotics, which contains 45 billion CFUs of probiotics. So far, it has worked well for me.

I take VSL #3 (I get mine at Costco - it's behind the counter at the pharmacy so you have to ask for it), and my daughter takes Klaire Labs Ther-biotic (ordered online - she has a corn intolerance and this one is free of corn starch). They also have adult versions through Klaire.

ReNew Life Ultimate Flora Critical Care 50 Billion, Vegetable Capsules

But this one needs refrigeration.

I have another in my purse for when I am out and about. I can't remember what the heck it is called......

NFH Probio SAP, my ND and LLND recommend it. Requires refrigeration.

I take a bunch of different probiotics so I can get the largest variety of strains:

refrigerated ones:

NOW 25 billion
Theralac

non-refrigerated:

Dr. Ohhira's (this was one of the first I ever took - long before Lyme...it makes my skin sooo smooth :)
Prescript-assist (soil-based organisms)
Saccharomyces Boulardii (this one gets probiotics into the intestines)
PRO-15 (time released)

I also take ReNew Life Ultimate Flora Critical Care 50 Billion, Vegetable Capsules. As PeteZa said, these need to be refrigerated. They're also kinda expensive.

Ok thanks everyone- I'll look into these!

I like Renew Life Critical Care 80 Billion. It is kind of pricey, but my stomach seems happier on it. I have also taken VSL #3, which seems to upset my stomach lately (or my stomach is not as happy on it).
