I've just received a recommendation for probiotic drinks to aid good digestion and help keep you healthy heading into the winter months.
I've always viewed these as expensive health 'fad' products that probably don't do all that much.
Am I being too cynical? Do they have much benefit? Would I be as well to just eat yoghurt with active bacteria?

Purely anecdotal, and I would be interested to hear other people's experiences, and some of the science.
I had been having dodgy stomachs - IBS type symptoms and its settled down
I tried the probiotic drinks - actimel and they were good - but expensive so i have gone back to a big pot of bio yoghurt - I like Bio Activa and its only around 99p a pot. I also have a regular pot of bio yog for breakfast and my symptoms have gone away.
Give the yogs a try - theres lots of them - some lower fat if you need. But you're also increasing your calcium and a bit of protein at the same time and it might help anyone who needs a bit of something before
a morning run
Hope this helps
Great stuff. 99p a pot certainly appeals to my pocket much more than Actimel etc.
Shall add to this week's shopping list!
