Actimal drinks

I've bought these drinks to see If they will do my husband any good. Are they safe for people with copd

Hi

There is no harm in taking such a drink, but there is doubt whether the good bacteria ( no longer used in advert, now just says sugar free) actually survives past the stomach acids to be of any benefit.

Just trying anything that I think would do him good I've even got him eating blueberries and he hates them

I'm not going to make him eat them I asked him to try them as hes not had them before and they are full of antioxidants so if he had liked them that them that would have been good. I just asked him to try them I didn't force him to have them he could have said I'm not eating then they are horrible but he didn't he just had them all instead only a few so I did not make him eat them

Lots of info online regarding foods to have that are supposedly good for COPD but nothing that’s really proven. Anything’s worth a try though. Do some research and see where it takes you.

Good luck and wishing you and hubby well. Xxxxx

Hi Outdoors, I use these drinks if I have been on antibiotics as they always make me feel a little sickly. I find they work well but equally so do yoghurts (although yoghurts have to be taken as soon as I begin the meds for them to work). So they will do no harm and may make your hubby feel better, definitely worth trying. Take care both of you. Maximonkey
