Anyone taking Probiotics such as Trubiotics? I've been considering taking Trubiotics simply because it's new, it sounds effective and I'm almost willing to try anything that will help with my over all health, Any thought?

big thumbs up for the right bacteria!

I am currently attempting to repopulate my intestinal flora with the right stuff. I eat homemade yogurt and fermented fruits and veggies. real sauerkraut and fermented apple chutney. Yummy indeed. I already feel better after starting this a couple of weeks ago. My hands are less swollen.

I personally believe that our diets have done us in.

I was once told by a rheumy nurse not to take probiotics as they would make me sick, but I just take a probiotic yogurt (a peach melba flavour..yummy!!) and it doesn't do any harm to me. In fact It does help my tummy when I have overdone on "bad munchies"

Most people with RA often has a leaky gut problem. Hence, probiotics are very important in addressing this issue. I'd in the past tried out so many probiotics brand that sounds too good to be true but doesnt work for me (as revealed by a stool check). The brand I'm taking now is Natren!
