Good Probiotic?

[Brandon Justice]

I use Plexus Pro Bio. It's the best probiotic for combatting thrush and keeping my gut healthy that I've found. Anyone have suggestions?

I go yogurt nuts when on antibiotics. I don't tend to get thrush but I do end up with a yeast infection (I've got a foreskin). Gut wise I end up a bit off but nothing that sends me back to the Dr office.

I highly recommend Garden of Life Primal Defense Ultra - keeps my stomach pretty normal despite all the crazy antibiotics I take. Here is a link to where you can buy it online (Vitacost has some of the best prices I've found):

Note there are four different sizes. I buy the big one, but you may want to start small just in case.

Hail2Pitt, the Vitacost one looks great, but for those just starting on probiotics, how many should you start with and what's the ramp up to 3x a day?

I've been taking it for years, and unfortunately don't remember exactly how I ramped up...

I currently take it 2x per day - once in the morning, once in the evening. I don't think I've ever actually needed to take it 3x per day, but maybe you'll find that you need to. Definitely start slow - take it 1x per day, maybe see how you do for a week or so, then go up to 2x per day if needed.
