Dragonfly, thanks for the info about your friend! I think it's interesting that the bloating came back after she started missing days. When I was doing some research on probiotics last year (wanted to know which ones to order) I learned that even if we replenish the bacteria, they're not in our colon to stay and we need to keep supplying it, otherwise they just die off. So I guess that's when the problems are back.
I actually just got a new bottle of probiotics so I'm going to see how that works out. It's just a blend of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. I used to love activia, too. I actually miss all yogurt. I don't do well with soy products either (and even if I did I don't like the taste). I agree that having to eat activia every day would be a small price to pay for the bloating to go away. I would eat grass if that was the cure, lol !
That's funny about the beans. Yeah, they do have that effect . I can't risk anything like that since I work in an office environment .
My plan for now is to survive the holidays the best I can, and then I'll decide if I want to try it out or not.
