probiotics

I was wondering if probiotics help protect against noro & other svs. I eat pro yogurts all the time, & was wondering if this is why I`ve not caught a bug for many years now.

someone posted a site last week about this.....can't remember who it was.......basically it said that probiotics do help in avoiding noro........good news for all of us

Probiotics work very well for the stomach/digestive system!

i don't think it prevents it really. probiotics more help combat stomach issues, like irritable bowel syndrome or colon issues. it does help to just strength stomach defenses, so i guess it could help but it's not preventative method unfortunately.

I don't think it prevents them, but there is evidence it can make them less severe. I was sick a few weeks ago and got a way milder version of it than my bf, and I take 3 million organisms daily

I don`t think probiotics help with IBS symptoms, because I still have problems in that department.
