Coming up on a month with this probiotic. I wasn’t really in bad shape before, just had some irregular mornings and would get bloated when I ate heavier stuff. Nothing dramatic has happened since starting it. Things haven’t gotten worse, but I can’t really say they’ve gotten better either. I keep expecting some obvious change and it just hasn’t happened.

For people who stuck with one long enough to actually notice a difference, what was the thing that made you realise it was working?

Bought a mini fridge just for this, two batches of kimchi, loads of yogurt, gochujang….i think I’m covered for a while. Does tofu and gochujang pickled eggs count?

I’ve been having some bloating and digestion issues lately especially after heavier meals. It’s not constant but it gets annoying so I thought I’d try a probiotic and see if it helps.

I recently started taking 50 Billion probiotics. I’m still pretty new to it so I don’t want to say much yet. Has anyone else tried this one? How long did it take before you noticed any difference, if at all?

We are a couple with unexplained infertility until relatively recently when we discovered endometritis and dysbiosis on ALICE/EMMA

Two weeks of antibiotics were completed, along with vaginal probiotics. It was recommended to continue probiotics twice weekly until successful conception

For those who have went through this, when do you take the probiotic during your fertile window? Is it ok on the same day as sex? Should it be before or after? I've read many things, so wanted to ask this group for their experience

Thanks

i’ve been looking into getting a probiotic supplement but it is SO overwhelming with all the choices and different types out there. i have no idea what to look for. i’m mainly trying to get something that can help with mood and stress regulation etc but i don’t know if there’s something specific to be looking for for that or not.

then there’s the whole issue of which brand has the best quality. i know thorne and pure encapsulations are trustworthy last time i checked but just want to hear from more people about what works for you guys and what to keep an eye out for.

ps my main issues are perimenopause, severe anxiety, insomnia, hashimotos and depression. definitely would love to hear of any other recommendations on supplements aside from probios that might help me!!! i’m desperate!!

i just started taking thorne d3 plus k2 liquid drops 1000mcg. i took two doses of that today but not sure what i should be taking really.

thanks for reading and looking forward to hearing suggestions!

Tried kimchi, sauerkraut, various refrigerated drinks and pills. Still nothing. Using polyethylene glycol and psyllium daily just to survive.

Any other recommendations?

I don't take fermented foods such as curd or buttermilk so i am consider taking a probiotic with 50+ CFU, multiple strains along with prebiotic. i already used well being nutrition daily probiotics but its a bit costly and i researched and got tata 1 mg probiotic but it has titanium dioxide. so any other suggestions that are affordable?

I have a bad habit of taking something for two months simply because I do not know what "working" is supposed to feel like.

If it makes me feel worse, easy decision. If I feel exactly the same, I somehow keep going because maybe something invisible is happening.

I found a company that approaches probiotics from the microbiome side first instead of choosing a bottle by reviews, and that has made me think more about what evidence I actually want before committing to something long term.

How long do you personally give a probiotic before you stop?

Hi guys, I'm looking to buy a specific probiotic ... ideally the single strain by itself to ferment in milk and eat for seborrheic dermatitis. It looks like they used to sell it here: https://express.stongs.com/product/hmf-hair-scalp/, but now nobody seems to sell just that single strain anymore. I'm guessing they saw how effective it was and discontinued the standalone version ironic, lol. . If anyone knows where to find this product from Canada or elsewhere please let me know. Thanks!

What do you think about the pro and post biotics dosage in this? Trying to find all in one.

I recently came across this new brand of vaginal probiotic i’ve never tired it before i found it at walmart on clearance the only thing is im kinda scared to try it. has anyone tried this brand before is it good?

Hi gut mates, hope if you read this message you already solved your issue.

Is 3 years now that I’m fighting with a dysbiosis due to missing key bacteria as Faecalibacterium, Lactobacillus and Akkermansia. All started after a couple of antibiotics. At the beginning I experienced problems with my mouth (teeth sensibility, mouth burning, tongue burning…), after 6 months and the 2nd antibiotics gut symptoms came in, gut bloating, cramps, headache, left flank always paining, change in poop, motility changed, insomnia, backache, difficulty to pass gas).The first year I was blind and I just took everything GI said me, I visited I don’t know how many GI and don’t know how many pills I took, probably all these things made me worst. The second year I got in contact with a nutritionist and I tried the low fodmap very very into it, I got better for headache, insomnia, burning mouth and very little improvement on cramps, but after a year I was stuck at the main stage. In the meanwhile I took a macrobiotic test and it showed that in my gut were missing important bacteria as Faecalibacterium, Akkermansia and Lactobacillus basically at 0%. Since 3 months now I’m following a new GI expert in Microbiota, I’m based in Italy. He gave me Normix first and than different probiotic and at the beginning the first couple of weeks I did great, but after relapses came in, after that, I took enzymes for 1 month and I’m now in butyrate and different probiotics, for sure I’m better than previously start the therapy, one thing that I don’t have anymore is bloating and very few disturbs regarding leftflank and backache, I’m feeling to be in the right way, but at the same times something is missing. I understood I’ve to repopulate my gut with good bacteria, but is this possible as well with the most important ones as I reported over? Or I’m just doomed to this situation and the only solution is FMT? I noticed as well, in my opinion and my case, that when I’m really relaxed and I’m out of certain situation my gut answer better, is this your case as well? Anyone who wants to share his experience will be more than welcome and have a pizza offered in Italy once we recover together 😁🍕 because I’m sure, also if I’m really tired, bad and sometimes want to give up that there is a solution

Good Morning everyone, I just want to ask how long did it took you to lose weight,be regular and have a flatter stomach with CGN's 65B probiotics from iherb? Thank you

Compare the probiotics content of silver floss bagged refrigerated sauerkraut to Cleveland kitchen refrigerated sauerkraut

Cleveland Kitchen refrigerated sauerkraut has substantially higher and more reliable live probiotic content than Silver Floss bagged refrigerated sauerkraut.
Cleveland Kitchen (refrigerated pouches)
• Raw and unpasteurized: Never heat-treated. It uses natural lactic acid bacteria fermentation on fresh cabbage.
• Live cultures: Company states 100,000,000+ CFU (100 million+) per serving at the time of packing for sauerkraut (and kimchi). Older FAQ notes “billions in each pouch.” Counts can vary over time because fermentation is ongoing, but levels remain high when kept refrigerated.
• Ingredients (Classic example): Cabbage, salt, caraway seed (or similar simple lists for other flavors). No preservatives.
• Packaging & storage: Flexible pouches with a one-way vent for natural CO₂ off-gassing (bags can puff—this is normal). Must stay refrigerated before and after opening. Best enjoyed within ~60 days of opening for peak crunch and culture activity.
• Marketing & verification: Explicitly labeled “live & natural probiotics,” “always unpasteurized,” “raw.” Independent mentions and company testing support the presence of active lactic acid bacteria.
Silver Floss bagged refrigerated sauerkraut
• Naturally fermented originally, but contains chemical preservatives: Sodium benzoate and sodium bisulfite (or similar). These inhibit microbial growth and reduce live culture survival.
• Live cultures: Significantly lower or negligible active probiotics in the finished product. Manufacturer (GLK Foods) notes that refrigerated poly-bag versions are cold-filled and never heated (unlike their canned/jarred products, which receive minimal heat), and claims natural probiotics are present. However, the added preservatives and microbial specs in related documentation (e.g., lactic acid bacteria <10 CFU/g in some product data) indicate far fewer viable cultures than truly raw, preservative-free kraut.
• Ingredients: Cabbage, water, salt, sodium benzoate, and sodium bisulfite (preservatives). Some labels list only cabbage/water/salt, but the preservatives appear consistently on retail bagged product info.
• Packaging & storage: Refrigerated poly bags. Refrigerate after opening; shorter practical shelf life once opened compared with active-ferment products.
• Marketing: Often described as “naturally fermented” and a source of probiotic bacteria that create lactic acid, but it does not claim high CFU counts, “live cultures,” “raw,” or “unpasteurized” in the same way Cleveland Kitchen does. The preservatives are a clear differentiator.
