Hi All,
Just wanted to let you know I have been using MEGAFLORA by Megafoods.
it has 20 billion live cultures and 14 strains (refrigerated). i bought it at my local healthfood store, but I think you can get it at Vitamin Shoppe and Vitacost.
the lady explained to me if you are having yeast/gut issues, its best to start taking 2 in the morning (by itself) and 2 at bedtime for at least a week.
then 1 in am. and 1 at bedtime or as needed thereafter, 2-3 hours away from antibiotics and other supplements.
just thought i would pass this along as an alternative good probiotic.

Another good one from Vitacost is their cheaper house brand "NSI 15-35".
It has 15 strains and 35 billion live organisms. I cultured it to test it out, and it was solid in less than 12 hours, which is excellent.

Thanks for the info, Gem. I'm assuming that you've personally found it helpful.
Klutzo-
Gotta love someone who does their own studies! & a "cheaper" house-brand, no less!
How do you culture it? I'd love to check the one I've been using to see how it might compare to that.
