I just cant find good info on this. Do they really need to be refridgerated brands? Once, I had stomach pain from a brand and I can’t figure out why. I’ve used multiple brands and never had a problem…
So what do you look for in probiotics? How do you know if their effective?
Thanks!

RA tried everything: Methotraxate, Arava, Humira. Pneumonia three times. Anemia. Very low iron. Hypothyroidism
AP from April 2014 till August 2015. No luck.
Current medications: Natural thyroid, Mobic, supplements,
vitamins and minerals.

refrigerated, spore-based and “regular” shelf stable (like pb8)right now I’m taking pb8, mega sporebiotic, probiomend 100, restoreflora and renewlife ultimate Flora. none of them seem to be bothersome so I just choose differently from a few of these varieties daily
Autoimmune: ANA positive speckled. Probable MCTD with SD overlap. Hashimoto's. Possible Erlos Danlos. Mold Illness.
Infections: Bartonella, toxoplasmosis, mycoplasma, EBV
Meds: minocycline (Zydus generic) 100mg 1x daily,
Supps: digestive enzymes, Monolaurin, Betaine hydrochloric acid, iron, quercetin, biocidinJuly 17, 2019 at 9:31 pm #464670Lynne G.SDParticipantI have a couple favourite such as Mutaflor and ProBio Gen but the absolute best ar is the one on the Dr. Mercola site 700billion bugs
July 18, 2019 at 3:14 am #464676Linda LParticipantI keep always Lactobac in the fridge /Australia/ and take it from time to time, rather rarely. But something interesting has happened to me recently. About three months ago 3 x 1 cm eczema appeared under my right eye on a cheek. Doctors didn’t know what it was, one said “shingles”. Three months later it was still on my skin, maybe a little bit smaller. Then I started to take Yakult fermented milk every single day. After two days it started to disappear and today after seven days it has nearly gone. Please note that I don’t work for Yakult. I am very happy about it because a doctor wanted to put me on antibiotics for shingles.
