probiotics

But for what the article describes, we would have to wait a bit until the real effects of each particular probiotics-combination are understood.

On the other side some very smart people with nothing to sell (probiotics/prebiotics/tests) argue for a relatively sterile gut.

Increased consumption of fermented foods likely to contain probiotics was associated with fewer social anxiety symptoms.

This study performs a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled (all good) trial to determine the effect of probiotics using a self-report survey.

Conclusion: These results provide the first evidence that the intake of probiotics may help reduce negative thoughts associated with sad mood.

With what we know now about beneficial bacteria, I wonder if, in addition to the pathogens, we're killing probiotics?

As the author of the article notes, probiotics can't possibly match the variety of organisms that a typical human has in their gut.

Can't wait for a real product, I just hope it doesn't start off costing $200/month like some probiotics I've seen.

Kombucha is tasty (IMO) and the probiotics are great -- I enjoy kombucha and kefir regularly.

There is a growing awareness about probiotics, but most of the studies I read are not convincing enough, as of today.

In general, you want to buy high-quality probiotics, and finding the good ones isn't easy mainly because of the huge amount of astroturfing from manufacturers.

Like I said I don't know, but I advise extreme caution on this stuff where there's any tangential connection to probiotics/prebiotics/tests.

I went gluten-free "hardcore" for 2 years and now I supplement with probiotics and can eat gluten on occasion.

Not sure about specific strains; I use Garden of Life Raw Probiotics, since they seem to have a good mix of different types and the manufacturer really makes an effort to keep them refrigerated.
