A member asked:
I have a history of ibs and divercular disease i take probiotics and feel that they help,but i want to know is it safe to take them on daily basis?

Yes: They are safe to take daily. In fact they come in different strains. You may want to alternate types so as not to get an overgrowth of just one type. You can after a few weeks do without them for awhile. Your good bacteria have been repopulated and can survive without more probiotics.
