Probiotic Foods
« on: January 25, 2005, 09:21:48 AM »
I decided to give Actimel a go... I've gone with the Pineapple flavoured stuff... Tastes ok, and is quite a pleasant drink. But seems to have given me the worst case of wind :-(

Anybody actually had any positive experiences with this sort of stuff?

I usually have one of those large Activa or whatever yoghurts and don't have any of the symptoms you describe...

Are you eating lots of fibre & veg?  That can cause flatulence, especially when combined with lots of real ale...

Picture the scene:  An early autumn morning, in a field packed with tents where people sleep after a beer festival. The peace is shattered by a dawn chorus of trumps and creaks, somewhat reminiscent of the sounds of courting frogs in spring.

If you've ever heard Paul McCartney's "We all stand together" (otherwise known as "The Frog Chorus" then you know what I mean...

Proviva is great for the tummy. I dunno if it exists outside of Sweden, though.

I expect all of it is. After all, one assumes all that gas comes from the breakdown of crud that would otherwise just sit there caked on your insides*


*not that I have the slightest shred of evidence to prove this ;-)
