Probiotics....

[kthomas629]

I was just wondering if anyone here has heard anything about probiotics as a way of preventing stomach upset and sv*? I know that they are good for helping you get OVER one. In fact I'm going to buy some of the probiotic powder for my daughter as soon as I can get to a store to help re-balance her gut now that she can drink and eat again from her sickness. But I was wondering about preventing. I've read a lot of natural stuff and they talk a lot about how nearly 75% of your immunity in located in your intestinal area and if it is "out of whack" your whole immune system is too.
Just curious.

Great query! I would be interested to know too. It's often difficult to get an answer based on scientific evidence!

I take them because one of my aunt's does and she hasn't been sick from an sv* in her adult life. Other things have of course made her v*, but VERY rarely weren't related to a virus. In fact I don't think she's ever v* in my lifetime (although it's only 15 years, but still). She also doesn't get any colds, infections, etc. She got me hooked on them and I think they're a pretty good idea just in case.

Look up Tummy Tune Ups!

I don't like probiotics because they make my stomach feel bloated and gassy. I would suggest eating one tub of yoghurt a day, as I feel I do not need the boosted amount of good bacteria contained in the capsules you can buy. However its better to try it for yourself.

i've been really curious about tummy tune up, does it really help prevent an sv? i'm scared i'm getting one atm so i'm franticly googling it haha

i wish that probiotics stopped me from catching colds, because I take them, but I`m very susceptible to colds.

Take Vitamin D and Vitamin C and Zinc to prevent colds.

on a review on a website, I reviewed tummy tuneup after buying it, and someone said they DID get a sv when it was in their house, even they had been taking tummy tuneup at the time

I live in the UK and I take Multibiotica Immune which also have probiotics. Been taking them for a number of months and so far I have not caught anything!
