Best pro- and pre-biotics UK

Hi, can anyone recommend some decent pre- and -probiotics? I have used many but don’t feel I have ever received any benefit from them.

It is always possible that they won’t work for me, I’ve read they don’t work for everyone, but I don’t want to give up just yet.

Thanks

S

From all I have read on medical websites and studies into IBS, there is no right answer. You have to try em one at a time and see if your symptoms improve on one brand or another. The only thing is make sure the different brand uses a different strain of bacteria or it's pointless., Hope this helps, oh I should say it's down to everyone being different and having different blooms of bacteria in the gut.

Ha I'm a bit like you never really found anything that sorts all the problems out - however - I came across this site the other day which is brilliant and tells you everything you need to know about probiotics - take a look at:-
