Hello all, I'm after some advice for a good probiotic (dairy free). - I've been taking Bioglan (from UK Boots pharmacy) not noticing any change and just realised it has lactose in it!! So that could be why!! Any advice much appreciated 👍Xx

Good morning

I use Holland and Barret Acidophilus plus non dairy. They have really helped me as I am lactose intolerant. You do seem to get worse before you notice a difference, but I have been on them since November and they do help. Good luck x

Hey! Yeah I tried them, was on the dairy ones first as didn't realise they did the non dairy!! bioglan I've been on has 20million live culture whereas i seem to remember the holland and barratt ones were much less? Looking for a higher million but non dairy 👍😂 as I'm sure the lactose element in these isn't helping me at all!! 😰 Xx

Hi

If you find some that suit you please let me know. The ones I use are 2 billion and you can take two but I only take one a day. I'm not that brave! Xx

Will do! I might actually just get those as I didn't use them for very long as wasn't convinced they were working! Maybe I should give them longer! If only there was a quick fix to get this IBS under control! Xx

Have you tried raw sauerkraut in your diet. It is very easy to make at home - just need white cabbage and salt and a couple of glass jars. The juice can be taken (it is not as gross as it sounds!) Try googling Sandor Katz
