I need a good priobotic. I have been taking Sustenex daily for a year before I even knew I had Lyme but I am wondering if there is a better one to take.

Just wondering what others take.

I know there are some threads on this but since things change, I would like to start a new thread.

BTW, I ask a lot of questions but do not contribute. I hope one day down the road, I can be of some help to someone.

For now I am overwhelmed and have a lot to learn.

Thank you for our time.

Hi Crayfish,

I take two probiotics. One is a gel cap called Pro Flora Concentrate by Integrative Therapeutics

The second is a powder that I mix in water - HMF Replete by Genestra.

The Replete is a super probiotic. I usually only do 1/4 - 1/2 a pouch a day at bed time.

I take 2 probiotics one is a powder the other is a liquid and they seem to work perfectly when mixed together. One is called Beta-Glucan symbiotic (powder)formula from therapeutic foods, the other is a liquid probiotic called Alpha Biotika (liquid pro-biotic). from selfhealth.co.uk

Theralac and VSL#3 are both highly recommended by many LLMDs.

They seem expensive, but they are way more powerful than many of the cheaper pills.

The VSL#3 has a prescription version that is covered by some insurance companies.

Also don't forget to take saccharomyces boullardii. It is a beneficial yeast which is not affected by antibiotics. It's one of the best things to take to prevent candidiasis. I take 4 or 5 pills a day.
