So for a while people thought that probiotics were a great option but the problem is they don't colonize so you have to keep taking them every day pretty much forever for them to work. All of the latest studies suggest that by eating prebiotic fiber....this is stuff you can't digest but bacteria can you can actually change your flora instead of just supplementing it everyday. In most cases this is suggested to be done by introducing a lot of fruits and veg and whole grains instead or processed foods but there are supplements as well. Just wondering if anyone had ever tried anything like this?

That is very interesting. Thanks for sharing that with us. I have not tried anything like that. You are very smart. I really enjoy your posts
Thanks for this!
