I don't seem to have any noticable Candida issues and am currently taking Theralac and Saccharomyces Boullardi both once a day.
Do those who are taking Theralac take it everyday or follow the regimen suggested where you take 1 pill a day for two weeks and then 2 pills a week from there on.

I think there is such a think as too many probiotics, and it's different for everyone.
I noticed i got out of whack when i was taking 4 capsules daily (of 3 different bands/types as per my ilads doc)
Now i only take one of them (whichever is handy) once a day.
Keeps me totally regular, no issues. Although i'm only on one med - omnicef.

That is a crazy amount of probiotics to consume Randibear! Posts: 7545 | From The 5th Dimension - The Twilight Zone | Registered: Mar 2008

As I feel like yeast overgrowth is always just a minute away, I am doing pretty much the same type of protocol -- high quantity and lots of variety -- as Randibear, but perhaps just a bit less on the quantity side. I'm only on Amoxicillin, but my doctor told me that we need at least 100 billion CFUs per day to keep away the yeast overgrowth. I also take Prescript-Assist Pro from Researched Nutritionals, since it's got some different varieties of bacteria. There are so many billions of bacteria in our gut, probably many of which we don't even know about. So, I figure we need to replace as much as possible, and even with that variety and quantity, it probably doesn't really simulate what's normal for the gut.
Do folks feel that Theralac or VSL#3 is more potent/helpful?

well i've heard that some of what i'm taking is useless, so i've got to use it up.
i'll probably drop the sf8 and pearls.
cause, yeah, it's getting expensive. i'd rather take one or two really good ones and would probably spend the same amount, but since i've got them, i'll use them up.
and with my system tho, better safe than sorry.
but so far i haven't had any yeast problems and i'm notorious for getting bad thrush and candida, so something must be working. flagy is really bad for causing yeast and i'm taking 500 twice a day.
