Q: Do probiotics help with MC?

A: According to the experiences that we have collected in this group over a longer period of time it turns out there is not a clear cut answer to this question.
- Some people have been taking a probiotic for years and they continue to take it because they are feeling good or because their MC is in remission; it is unknown which role if any the probiotic played in reaching remission. Probiotics are recommended by Dr. Fine. He originally recommended the brand Culturelle but I believe he now recommends a probiotic from the Health Food Store's refrigerated area. If you have known food intolerances you must make sure the probiotic is free of offending ingredients.
- Other members have felt that they did worse when taking a probiotic than w/o.
