Hi Bryanna, Your post is also very timely and appreciated. I didn't know about the loss of good bacteria in yogurts, but I can understand how that would happen.

I've never heard of making your own probiotic. I'd love to know how to do this!
I will look for the Culturelle today also.

The tip of stocking up on nutritious soft foods is a good idea. I had thought of soups and smoothies that I make with frozen fruit, yougurt and 100% cranberry juice.

I'll keep you posted on the extractions. I have a consultation with the oral surgeon on Tuesday and the first extraction next Thursday. I am nervous, but keeping a positive outlook.
