Probiotics

[mcdavid]

should they be taken with or between meals?

how would you compare the efficiency of acidophilus versus FOS?

[shelley]

FOS is great if you're not a candida person. Many candida people find that FOS feeds the yeasties too. Acidophilus is safest for therapeutic purposes.

FOS is great during the maintenance and rebuilding stage, for when you're clean and balanced and just want to increase or maintain your microbes.

It really depends on what kind of probiotic you got which is best. If the mirobes are alive, then it's best to take them during a meal that lowers your stomach acid. If it's a coated pill or powder, then it's probably best on an empty stomach.
