********** I just realized this never published and it still a very important topic for me, so I will update you.
I still take probiotics everyday. I have decided that the best thing to do is to alternate between a few different ones, because like anything, getting used to one thing specifically only makes us immune to it. So, I am on a constant rotation of Dr. Ohirra's Original Formula Probiotics. They are not very strong, as far as the count of strains etc, but they are very high quality, vegetarian, fermented and do not have to stay in the fridge. They are not cheap, but they are worth it.

I found mine on sale at www.mynaturalmarket.com - HOWEVER NOW THAT I AM IN FRANCE I CANNOT FIND THESE!!! I AM SO FRUSTRATED BY THE VITAMIN?SUPPLEMENT REGULATIONS HERE!!!! IF YOU HAVE ANY TIPS, PLEASE HELP. I am debating even going to the UK or Netherlands for a weekend, just to load up on my B12, Vit C, Probiotics etc.
So, other than the Dr. Ohhira, I also use other Probiotics that are higher in strains/count. If you have read any of my previous posts, I used to get cold sores all the time. Since taking these probiotics, knock on wood, I havent had any. It is honestly incredible. I believe that I am absorbing more nutrients and although I am still not digesting like a normal person, IE, going to the washroom regularly (I have decided I am going to be extremely open on this blog) I have definitely been feeling better. Another major problem that I suffer/ed was not feeling full and eating a stupid amount of food. These probiotics have helped me feel more satisfied with my food, because I am absorbing the nutrients.
Let me know how all of this goes for you.
I have had digestive issues for a very long time. After speaking to many people about this, I feel like EVERYONE has digestive issues. I have tried alot of things, including digestive enzymes, massages, special drinks, taking things out of my diet - like gluten, etc.
I was always told to stay away from bananas because they can "bung you up" - to quote a few. And then I read an article about the inulin in bananas. So, lately, I wake up, have my BIO-K probiotic and about an hour later I have a banana. I must say, without having to tailor my diet to much and still being able to indulge regularly on my favorites, I feel a huge difference in my system. If you arent aware of BIO-K, check it out - it is expensive and has become a big expense for me, but its cheaper than a latte!

Like everything else I say, I am not sure if this is special to me, but I know I got to a point of desperation and would try many peoples ideas, so, maybe this will help you?
Let me know
