Specializes in Internal Medicine

Quality probiotics: Take probiotic tab or capsule in between meals. Plain yogurt 8 oz twice daily. Do not mix milk with anything. Probiotics are bacteria or yeast having beneficial effect on digestion & immune function by binding sites on mucosal surfaces & by producing chemicals that inactivate or kill pathogens.
