Acidopholiuous?

[marycontrary]

Have any of you ever taken acidopholious? I researched and could not find any known side effects except for mild stomach dicomfort and gassiness. i want to take some but I wanted to see if anyone has taken it and if they had any stomach problems from it first.

I take acidopholus with antibiotics to prevent the d* that often comes with antibiotics. It replaces the good bacteria. It helps!

Have you ever had yogurt? Is is the same stuff as in yogurt with live
cultures...it is really good for you tummy. Lots of times when my tummy
hurts I take some and it helps. I sometimes get stinky gas from it, but
that was about it. Why did you want to take it?

[marycontrary]

I have been eating yogurt everyday for the last 4 days. I went to the gyno last week and he told me that the PH levels in my you know what are a little too high and to eat yogurt and take acidophilous.

I used to take this, and I don't know if it helped, but it definitely didn't give me any bad side effects. Good luck!

It helps me alot! Eating yogurt isn't enough. Taking acidolphilus is like eating 14 billion servings of yogurt a day!


Not only will it help with your digestion (especially if you have IBS), but it helps prevent yeast infections too.

[marycontrary]

will it help get rid of a yeast infection if I already have one?

[daffodil]

Possibly. I would consult a doctor on this one, though. It depends on your body, and how advanced the infection is. I have beat mild yeast infections with acidophilus and garlic supplements, but if it gets too bad, I go for the monistat.

I drink Sweet Acidolphilus milk...it really helps my stomach. Bonus~I haven't had a yeast infection in over 7 years. Definitely try it!

I take them everyday, plus I also eat yoghurts. I think that helps me feel better for sure.

[californiagirl]

My 15-yr-old daughter and I take one every day, and have had no side effects whatsoever. We also take cranberry pills 2 x day.

I take so much vitamins and supplements that in fact I think I could
have breakfast of only all these pills and feel full, lol. It's all for
my immunity, so that I could be safer from all those viruses and
colds...
