Whenever anyone asks me what vitamins or supplements they should take, most of the time I always answer with probiotics.

  • can treat diarrhea
  • prevent and treat yeast and urinary infections
  • treat irritable bowel syndrome

  • kefir
  • probiotic drinks
  • yogurt
  • miso
  • fermented foods like kombucha, saurkraut, kimchee, etc.
Do you make sure you are getting probiotics? 
I’ve been a huge believer in probiotics for the last few years and I must say, I think it helped with some digestive issues I had always had. When I travel to Haiti or have been on antibiotics, I take more!  I take a supplement on a daily basis as well as consume foods fermented foods and yogurt.
