Thank you for the link. I will read this. I have another question for you. Are there different kinds of Probiotics that are different for different use? Which will help for C?
From the article link: This may help.
Quote:
For constipation, a study conducted in Finland showed the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus (L. rhamnosus) and Propionibacterium freudenreichii, a bacteriocin, produced a 24 percent increase in defecation frequency compared to supplementation with another probiotic, Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri), or a placebo.1
If the probiotic you buy lists the strains, look for the word "rhamnosus", but don't look to just probiotics and digestive enzymes to cure the "C", because they won't. It take a LOT of fiber, both soluble and insoluble to do that, not to mention a sufficient daily intake of water and exercise.
Hope this helps.
