Just read the OP and thought I should add...the Floragen3 costs about $13.00 for 30 capsules, needs to be refrigerated but can be left out for up to 2 weeks if you are taveling, and can be found at health food stores or most large pharmacies. Walgreens had to special order it for us, but they'll have it in stock for us from now on.

Okay, so, I don't mean to hijack the thread, but this goes along with Diane's question; What is the best probiotic to be on for a 21-year-old with minimal digestive issues, or does it matter which one I use? Will the Floragen3 be the best bet? Too many different brands, I don't know enough about them!

Forgive me for questioning, but is this similar to the old oregano oil supplement stuff we used to discuss on this site? I mean, are there actual studies that show probiotics in a certain quantity are helpful to CF? Or, are you using them simply because you feel and see a difference? I know some docs were ok with oregano oil, while others were very against it. Some docs will allow supplements without FDA approval or studies with CF, while others will not advocate anything that is not regulated for CF patients. My docs tend on the side of caution with supplements.
Just curious if this is something that you're doing because it may help or if you have actual scientific knowledge that these help CF? I'm not against them by any means, but must have missed prior posts that these were helpful to CF and I"m wondering what they claim to help with exactly? I know acidopholus is good for yeast and has been recommended while on antibiotics to even patients without CF, but I'm curious what the correlation is directly with CF patients taking it and how it helps them live longer?
Thanks,

If I remember correctly, probiotics are the good bacteria that occur naturally in your gut. When you take antibiotics, it can kill this good bacteria along with the bad ones you want to kill, the balance of good and bad bacteria gets out of wack, and therefore mess up your digestive system (get the runs with your antibioitics? There ya go <img src=""> ). They are the "good stuff" that is in yogurt (which is why people suggest you eat yogurt if your tummy is torn up).
When I was in the hospital (and ironicly, not my cf center hospital) for a liver infection, they put me on them at least twice a day while I was on the major iv antibiotics. That was what first got me interested in them. I'll see if I have an article saved on them in my "favorites". <img src="">
Here's one someone had posted earlier somewhere around here (apologies to who that was- I can't remember<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif" border="0">):
