From personal experience I can recommend Symprove, a water-based probiotic. It is expensive --- about£18 for 500ml bottle.,which lasts about 8 days. After about 4 months I'm now on half-dose, as I have improved beyond belief. I didn't find tablets or capsules any use at all.

Hello rsae56, a friend recommended Kefir to me and I have read how good it is, but the friend told me that when you start taking it , it gives you a lot of wind and bloating and discomfort . Did you find this?

C70rol No i have never experienced that, on the contrary, my stomach has been calmer and more comfortable since starting kefir. I only experience bloating and winds when I eat sugar.
