Someone told me Nature's Way Primadophilus Optima was good.

I hesitate to add another tablet to my routine.

Would their be any benefit to simply doing this periodically? Like once a month for ten days? Or when we are sick? When we have other "issues?"
Do folks here take something like this daily? Comments?

Thank you.
People who have had alot of antibiotics may benefit from some probiotics. There are some special ones that claim to even digest the gluten peptide...and those following the gluten free diet use it.

People with a history of oxalate kidney stones, may benefit from some fancy types. Excess oxalate is absorbed when certain bacteria are killed in the bowel by antibiotics.
One is called Oxalobacter formingenes. This one prevents excess oxalate from getting into our blood stream. It is not in probiotics yet, but some claim to help with oxalate anyway.

Some yogurts are really good. Stoneyfield organic has 6 types of organisms in them.
There is the new Dannon Immune defense, which may help reduce "leaky gut". MAY. We tend in this house to do the yogurt route.
