...are meaning that that is what that person mixes their SFS with. The powders have to be mixed with either a liquid or some soft food to dissolve it before you take it.

Do you take a probiotic before each meal? Do you also take an SFS before each meal also?

I am learning!!

I only take probiotics once a day, late in the afternoon on an empty stomach. I take the Digestive Enzymes (Futurebiotic brand) at the beginning of each meal. I may change the probiotic approach later, but right now, I'm doing a slow introduction. I am pretty "normal" now as far as daily elimination, but still battle the incomplete problem and still don't feel comfortable sometimes. For instance, feeling like I just HAVE to go, and nothing happens, or actually having some elimination, but feeling like I'm just not finished. I'm a lot better than I was a year ago, don't get me wrong, but stress is my biggest trigger, and my job is pretty hellish this time of year. 5-htp has helped me be less stressed and sleep better though, so I'm making progress, one supplement at a time.

I bought "super Digestaway" which I took a long time ago but I guess I should start taking it at the start of each of my meals again. I still get confused (sorry) about what exactly is a probiotic? I know it contains acidofolous (?) but isn't it like a digestive enzyme?

thanks for all your help - I really need it right now!

Anyone know any good websites that I can order a good Probiotic online? I live sort of in the country, and don't have many Health Food Places I can get to easily and buy them. THANKS!!

Probiotics replace your good gut flora. Live bacteria cultures. I'm using the Jarrow brand recommended here. You can google a search for probiotics and get tons of on-line options to order!! I am out in the country too, but did find a health food store within 25 miles that carries quality brands.

I just went into Yahoo and did a search on probiotics - but was a bit scared when reading that probiotics are to aid in bacteria and digestion but tend to contain dairy in them.

Maybe not the pills - and maybe I did not read it all correctly but acidopholous sounds similar.

any feeback???
