Question 1

Accepted Answer

Both or either.: Look at the label. Example: Nutramigen® with Enflora™ LGG®* (&quot;friendly&quot; gut&#x27;s bacterias, such as Lactobacterias (LGG) or Bifidobacterias, - they are - probiotics). Prebiotics are dietary fibers, or carbohydrates, or oligosaccharides, - the food needed for the normal gut flora (or microbiome) to grow (Example: Prebiotics in Enfagrow®).

Question 2

Question 3

starting vls3 probiotics for diverticulitis,i need   a recomindation dosage and what's the best time to take them?

Accepted Answer

No specifics to give: Probiotics is known to help restore normal bacterial flora of intestines if being altered by antibiotic use or poor lifestyle. Its recommended dose is arbitrary so you may take it as advised usually with or before meals from the Company-but at most double it up and see since individual tolerance widely varies among people. But still remember healthy lifestyle remains the foundation of all care.

Question 4

is an immediate acne breakout (within a week) a result of stopping antibiotics or starting a high dosage probiotics?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: If you were having problems with acne breakouts, it is possible that continuous antibiotic administration was suppressing your acne tendency. When you discontinued steady antibiotic intake, skin bacteria may have proliferated causing an outbreak. A dermatologist is best qualified to answer your question, however. I don't think taking probiotics was the cause of the outbreak.

Question 6

could taking florastor select immunity boost probiotics help someone recover from a stomach bug faster? if so, what's the recommended dosage of it?

: Probiotics are just capsules that contain inactive germ colonies that will activate and live in your gut. The blend of these germs is known to be benign acting and their presence can push out more toxic germs. There is no set dosing schedule although the company will list a suggested dose in their information. Some find them helpful.

Question 7

is there any difference between "baby" probiotics and "adult" regular probiotics?

Accepted Answer

Bacterial count: The difference between baby and adult probiotics is the type of bacteria and the bacterial count.

Question 8

do you have any recommendations for a brand of probiotics i can buy?  my baby is 10 weeks (8 weeks adjusted).

Accepted Answer

Might be too early!: I know your concerns... But adding  another component to baby's feeding may backfire on you , either way ,  i would prefer a more potent , more lasting "probiotic" which is breast milk!  we survived for 2000 years with those!  "rely on the best ...Stay with the breast" regards !
