I have been pretty consistantly taking Ultimate Flora Critical Care for months now..right now I take 1 capsule a day..but sometimes I take two.

Should I be alternating this with another probiotic?

I am wondering if my body may get to used to this one.

Thank you!! and hope you all are feeling well this Monday morn!

I use the UFCC as my "staple" probiotic. I add others but have consistently stayed with the Primadophilus Reuteri capsules... I've done very well with both.
The UFCC doesn't have the reuteri in it, that's why I take it. pb4 suggested it eons ago, albeit expensive in Canada....what isn't?

All is doing well UC-wise for me.

What specifically does reuteri help with?

Quincy,

Which of the Ultimate Flora Critical Care do you use? I'm looking online and seeing 50 billion, 80 billion and 200 billion.

I want to add something to the Reuteri - it's just not enough alone.

Thanks!!!

Hi..there's only one critical care, but the 200 billion one is for 7 days only..not to be taken continually.

The 80 billion one has a higher rhamnosus (which is good I think), and the Critical Care of 50 billion is what I use.

The Reuteri capsules have rhamnosus in it as well.

Thanks, Q! I've been taking the Rueteri for years now and I remember how much it helped when I first started. I remeber pb4 turned me on to it, too. :)

I'm excited to try the critical care!

Keep us posted. I take them at night before bedtime on an empty stomach about an hour or so after my meds and supplements.
