You can try....: Apart from certain probiotics such as saccharomyces boulardii, in clinical testing. Most probiotics are inconsistent in their effectiveness in restoring normal intestinal flora functioning. It may work in some people, but not in others. In most cases, it doesn't harm the patient- but is it worth the extra health resource dollars, is debatable.
