No, I’ve never tried probiotics beyond eating low sugar yoghurt most every day. The live cultures in yogurt are actually among the main strains you’ll find in a lot of the supplements, so maybe that’s something.
Science has just begun to interrogate interrelationship between the gut microbiolota, mucosa, and immune system with a long way to go. But I can guarantee that many interesting and important data will come from that work.
Bo Shen, MD, now at Columbia, has done some of the cutting edge research in that field with respect to both IBD and pouchitis.
Hope you round the bend soon!
