Is it good to take a probiotic? heard conflicting advice plus i have ibs among other things. tyvm

Please do not: Think that higher numbers of probiotics are better. It safer to look for mixed probiotics. The refrigerated are generally stronger because they are more alive. Peace and good health. Yes, a probiotic is a good idea.

Generally yes but...: I don't think the average person needs to take probiotics regularly though I recommend foods with probiotics like sauerkraut and kefir. However, those with IBS and those with imbalanced flora due to antibiotics etc. benefit. There are many types of probiotics and different types work for diff. folks and conditions. See https://draxe.com/probiotics-benefits-foods-supplements/ Many good books too.
