My mom works from home and does informerical calls and they have a product call GetRight Probitiocs. She looking at ordering for me. But i wanted to ask the group has anyone tried these? Do they work? If anyone is on them please let me know if they are helpful or not. And here is the website to look at them as well.

Hi Tami,
I'm not familiar with that product, and I doubt that anyone here has tried it, because most "experts" recommend the use of probiotics that require refrigeration, in order to assure a higher rate of survival of the cultures. That one is apparently designed for storage at room temperature. That doesn't mean that it won't work, though.
Looking at the components, it seems to contain a good set of cultures, 40 % Lactobacillus acidophilus, and 40 % Bifidobacterium bifidum, though the total live count is a bit lower than some of the more highly-recommended probiotics. Again, that doesn't mean that it won't be effective - the product is claimed to counteract the lower count by having an improved system of delivery, (presumably, an enteric coating on the capsule).
As far as the other two components are concerned, they appear to be there to improve the digestion of milk and other dairy products. Lactobacillus helveticus is a lactic-acid producing bacterium, which is most commonly used in the production of Swiss cheese and Emmental cheese, but is also sometimes used in making other styles of cheese.
Streptococcus thermophilus is classified as a lactic acid bacterium, found in milk and milk products. It's not really a probiotic, (it normally will not survive the journey through the stomach) - it's generally used in the production of yogurt. IOW, it is used to "digest" milk by the fermentation process, in the absence of lactase enzyme, which normally digests milk in the small intestine.
If you are not intolerant to casein, (the protein in milk), then this product will probably make it much easier for you to "digest" milk, (assuming that you do want to use dairy products). All in all, I'd say it's probably about as good a probiotic as most on the market. We are all different in our needs, so obviously some probiotics will work better for some of us than for others. Probably the only way to find out if it will be beneficial to you, is to try it.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Thanks, Dee
Barbara needs to read at the UAS Labs website. It mentions taste and smell! Maybe the probiotics could help her.
