Does anyone get there probiotics in a drugstore such as Walgreens?

Im almost out and am wondering if there is a good (different) brand that I can purchase close to my home rather than order over the internet. I currently take Garden of Life: Primal Defense, which GNC doesnt carry anymore and The closest Vitamin Shoppe to me is a 25 min. drive.

Any suggestions would be great...even to tide me over.
Thanks.

Culturelle is one of the few probiotics that has research behind it. It is commonly available in most drugstores and does not need refrigeration.

I have good luck with Align - worth trying!

I've heard Align is good but it is VERY expensive! 

I think it's like $29 for a 28 day supply...

Yes, about $1 a day but well worth it to me.  I have not priced any other.  I got samples from my doctor and liked it so well I just buy it.  I get it on ebay - some good deals there. Just try it first and if it works for you - check buying in bulk at ebay.  I got enough for 4 months at once a lot cheaper.  By the way, I tried Primal Defense and could not take it - caused too much gas which never went away.

I take Digestive Advantage Sustenex. I haven't noticed any difference. When I started taking it, I was in remission and am now having some "flare type" days every few days. Just thought I'd try something since so many people on here talk about probiotics and I don't really like to eat yogurt.
