Hi all.
I think it's time for me to start taking probiotics on a regular basis. I believe I need something more than eating a yogurt serving every day. I know there are pills out there to take, do you recommend any? Also, anyone ever do a colon cleanse? I would love your input on this as well.
Thanks!

What can I do next?

I take them irregularly, but I have some practitioner grade pills called "Probiotics Synergy" by designs for health. I got them from a friend who is a nutritionist, so I don't know where you might be able to find them in your area. I would ask your local health food store what they recommend.

I have done some different cleanses. My favorite ones are by RenewLife and you can find their products just about anywhere you find vitamins. I recommend doing probiotics for a while first and / or use the general cleanse and go slow. It will lessen the fatigue from the candida die off. Depending upon why you are wanting to take probiotics and do a cleanse there are more advanced cleanses as well that I've used with great success; Paragone and Candidagone from the RenewLife company.

Last cleanse I have done if you want to save money and don't like taking pills too much is a "Master Cleanse:"
- 2 Tbs Lemon Juice (1/2 Lemon)
- 2 Tbs Maple Syrup
- 1-2 Pinches Cayenne Pepper
- 12 Oz Warm Water

You can also add garlic oil and / or olive oil for further cleansing. This can be used as a fasting solution (you can survive for 2 weeks on this stuff!) or just have it as a meal replacement for one meal a day.

Yes I take probiotics every day. They help keep the immune system functioning amongst other things. Why are you thinking of taking them and why are you considering a colon cleanse?

I know this is an older post but you only had a few responses.
I take probitotics regularly. I take Trinity Advantage by Natren. You can get them at Whole Foods. Make sure that they are refrigerated and are live. It will also save you the calories from the yogurt.
Probiotics saved me from IBS, bad skin, and lactose intolerance. I highly recommend them.

Yes, I take "Align" daily but it's due to being irregular, not because I want a colon cleanse. I can't tell you how much money I've spent on trying everything over the counter and nothing worked. This is the first time I've found something that does....thank goodness!
