Thanks for your response, Morenothingswrong.

Giving up the milk products during the cold you're having is a smart idea, in my view.
The digestive system is capable of manufacturing bacteria which produce some vitamins--that is, unless one has had surgery that affects the ability of the digestive system to produce bacteria or one has inherited inability to manufacture enzymes necessary for digestion of milk products--such as missing lactase in many, many adults. (Generally, after two years of age, even children begin to have less lactase in the sytem for viable use.)

I've found a high concentrate EPA/DHA with probiotics to support digestive health.

The probiotic being used is called bacillus coagulans, a reasonably different probiotic in that it is a spore bearing one and effective for me and others as a digestive aid. I use Nordic Naturals Omega Probiotic for the fatty acids and probiotic help. lt hits two goals rather than one.

Hope this helps, Morenothingswrong.

The probiotics are beneficial in western diets for many.

How are you feeling tonight?
