Laurel, I also take Acidophilus, but only once per day and at least 1 hour before I eat (doc says empty stomach means 1 hour before or 2 hours after) and I find that works ok. I was taking it mainly for Rosacea (adult acne) and found it works for IBS also. Have you tried only one per day and then went to three 2 X's a day? Was there that much of a change in symptoms with 6 per day? Just curious.

Hi there, On my bottle of chewable Acidophilus it recommends you take it preferably with a meal. I can't seem to figure out what's best? I think I will search this website and try to figure it out.

I didn't know they made chewable. I have capsules that need to be refridgerated. What are the chewable one called? I will look for them. Mine says once per day on an empty stomach.

Hi there, I have been taking Nature's Bounty Acidophilus and it's the stawberry flavor (pretty tasty). They sell it near the vitamins at a drug store I go to. After I open it I have to keep it refridgerated and I think it says to eat with a meal up to 3 times a day. In general I have been feeling better, not sure if it's the acidophilus or Acacia or both!

Do you know how many cultures are in one pill/capsule? I work with 11 billion per capsule. I know of the Nature's Bounty brand but have not heard of strawberry.... hmmmm!! I will be looking for it now. Take care.

I'm reading my bottle and it says on the front "A billion organisms guaranteed at the time of manufacture". Not sure if that's a billion for the whole bottle? On the ingredients one wafer contains 50mg of acidophilus and 50mg of bifidis. Sounds like you have a few more billion than me to say the least! Maybe that's why on mine they tell you to take up to 3 a day. Hmmmm.

Do you have a CVS where you live? That's where I bought these at and they sometimes go on sale buy one get one free there.

CVS is actually just a store and pharmacy... sort of like an Eckherds or Rite Aid if you know what those are.
