I'm curious: I've always suspected 'probiotics' are ineffective, like scattering a few daffodil seeds into a field of weeds. Either not a significant quantity to compete, or just 'food for bugs' which feeds everything indiscriminately.

as someone with plenty of gastrointestinal issues, probiotics are a godsend

curious to know if you have ever done a double blind test to determine if it's just a placebo effect?

[dsugarman]

I haven't but I also am always in a lot less pain when I take them. Invariably I start to have problems when I forget to keep taking them. It got to a point when every time I complain about stomach pain, a co-worker asks if I am taking my probiotics and the answer is always no.
