Probiotic: Lactobacillus and bifidobacterium are both good. Some people have gas as a side effect, especially in the first several days.

No single best...: There are hundreds of probiotics available. Some are better than others but there is no single "best." according to this, ones that contain l. Plantarum dsm9843 may be esp. Good for gas: http://www.Cnn.Com/2009/health/03/10/healthmag.Probiotics.Stomach/ sometimes you need to try a few brands to find the best one for you. Avoiding difficult-to-digest foods and taking digestive enzymes may help too.

There is no one best: Better to take capsules with high count bacteria (10 billion of more), and ones with more strains of good bacteria (B10- or more). More convenient and better than drinks. Save your money!
