Florastor (yeast-based probiotic) is good because antibiotics don't kill it. But you also need acidophilus and bifidus...and given my own difficulties finding supplements I do well with, I won't mention brands here.

I use homemade kefir. It has a long lists of the probiotics (both Lactobacilli and streptococci/Lactococci), plus beneficial yeasts. I can list them for anyone who would like to see them.

The easiest way to try kefir is to buy a container at certain grocery stores, or from the health food store. The health food stores usually charge close to double the amount that some Walmart's or Kroger's grocery stores charge, but still a good way to see if you would like it. It is very similar to drinkable yogurt, in both taste and consistency, in my opinion.

What exactly is kefir? Does it contain dairy?
I get my probiotics from the person who does my bio-identical hormone replacements. Pharmacy grade, glass pill bottle, keep in the refrig. If you have a compounding pharmacy in your area, they may carry a high quality probiotic.

Deanil,
I believe that most commercially available Kefir is dairy, although it's easy enough to make what is known as water kefir at home.

I make & use milk kefir. I can't take calcium supplements, so I have to keep the dairy (& other things high in calcium) in my diet.

If there is anyone who is interested in more info, please feel free to email me, or start a thread!!!

The refridgerated probiotics are the best. Go to your local health food store or pharmacy where you get your meds

and ask if they have them. They are everywhere, but the one that you want are the ones they keep behind the counter

in the fridge.
