  • Here is my experience. I have been fighting ulcerative colitis and I didn't want to go on the drugs the doctor gave me because the side effects were horrible.  I started probiotics and I can honestly say the symptons are 85% better. I take something called sustennex and it seems to be working.

  • I shit a lot better now. Thanks probiotics!! :D

  • If you have just finished taking antibiotics then probiotics would be beneficial to take.

  • I'm assuming with a name like "BBC Science", that this is a reputable and well trusted organization? What surprises me, and is rather irresponsible on their part, is that they have generalized 'probiotics'.  They did not mention what strains were used in this 'clinical study', how many CFU's, and the video shows the product was in liquid form. 'Good' probiotics are enteric coated capsules, have a minimum of 10 Billion CFUs to be effective, and specific strains already proven to be effective.

  • why would they test them on healthy people?give them to sick people!

  • @limerhymes yeah

  • @xoxFashiionxox Courtneypants!!!! :)

  • How do you know they actually gave probiatics in this test? to my understanding according to Dr. Ohhir, the color is black! I don't trust medical science, they are more content with keeping you sick for profit. They don't care about healing the sick, after all it is a business. And the orientals are know for their healing tea, So I would trust Dr. Ohhir, before i would the doctors of the U. S. they refuse to lable food containing GMO's which contain cancer causing agents?

  • - leafy greens to feed the good bacteria

    - avoid chlorine and environmental toxins as well as antibiotics

    - take a high quality supplement in capsule form that contains the dormant spores suitable to survive the upper GI tract

    - consider combing with digestive enzymes

  • PROBIOTICS MAKE YOU GO POOPTAY POOPTY
