 Works for many digestive problems Oct 25, 2009
By Toni
"Toni"
I use this every day. So does my 55 year old husband, my 78 year old dad, my 98 year old friend and my 30 year old daughter in law. It seems to keep the digestive system on track. My husband is highly lactose intollerant, and he takes it with no problem. I notice my system feeling sluggish if I forget it for more than a day. It is most often used to treat constipation, but it seems to work equally well in preventing loose stools. It is convenient and easy to take. Take it any time of the day, with or without food. It doesn't need to be refrigerated, but I do keep each capsule in it's foil packet until I take it. I have tried cheaper products and they just do not work as well. I have tried more expensive ones and they do not work any better. Everyone I suggest it to becomes a fan of this product.

 Failed ConsumerLab Test for Meeting Label Claims Mar 05, 2011
By tennisophiliac
Was shocked to learn that Culturelle Probiotics failed to meet ConsumerLab standards for meeting label claims about the amount of probiotic organisms in its supplement. ConsumerLab found that each capsule of Culturelle Probiotics only contained 58% of the amount of probiotic organisms listed on the label. On a related note, Align probiotic also FAILED ConsumerLab test - its capsule only contained 53% of the amount listed on the label. Both products may still be effective, but the issue is whether or not we are getting what we are paying for!
I hope both companies, considering how big they are, have since improved their products, but these things are a reminder that we need to do our own research about the quality of products before spending our hard earned money.

This really works! Jul 16, 2005
By Pteris
After years battling systemic yeast infections, my doctor recommend culturelle and it has helped a great deal. This is much better than the kind that needs refrigeration.

GREAT stuff! Apr 25, 2010
By Book Lover
"Peace Please"
A few years ago I was diagnosed with Colitis and it was bad, bad, bad. The medication the doctor prescribed made it worse (which, at the time, I didn't think was possible, but it did!), so I took it upon myself to find something to make it better. The very first thing I tried was Culturelle. Within 1 week of using this, I was SOOOOOOOO much better and almost back to complete normalcy. This stuff was a G-dsend! I still use a Pro-Biotic and always will. Years ago Culturelle was only available online at one web site (that I could find anyway) and my local health food store could also order it for me, but now Pro-Biotics are available everywhere....thank G-d.
I even give Pro-Biotics to my dog when her digestive system acts up. A few months ago she had bloody diarrhea for 5 days, I took her to the vet and they put her on some drug that didn't help at all so I gave her one of my Pro-Biotics and the NEXT DAY she was back to normal. I'm telling you....if you have digestive issues, this is the way to go....give Culturelle a try! I now prefer to try Alternative medications/Treatments BEFORE I see a doctor for anything. The Alternative treatments usually work and work VERY well.

Culturelle has significantly improved my quality of life Nov 13, 2010
By Cara Hogervorst
I have scleroderma sine scleroderma, an autoimmune disease that primarily affects my gut. In addition to other fun symptoms, it causes my intestines to move (peristalsis) very slowly, producing episodes where I can't eat for up to a week because of intestinal pain, other nasty symptoms, and the possibility of being hospitalized.
The plan from my team of physicians? Reglan, Protonix, Cipro, Flagyl, and a diet with limited fat, dairy and fiber. I have followed the plan, resulting in limited success and some unpleasant side effects.
I then tried Chinese acupuncture and herbs and that helped a little, enough to get me off of Cipro and Flagyl. Things changed dramatically, though, after I read the book "The Probiotics Revolution" by Dr. Gary Huffnagle, a microbiologist and immunologist at UMich (The Probiotics Revolution: The Definitive Guide to Safe, Natural Health Solutions Using Probiotic and Prebiotic Foods and Supplements). I became convinced that probiotics could help my gut, and it has in a dramatic way! It's been about three years now since I started taking Culturelle every day and it's completely stopped the week-long episodes of pain and fasting. I've also been able to eat more dairy products, eat a little more fat, incorporate more fiber in my diet, and get rid of almost all the Rx I was taking. I now take a mix of Culturelle, Saccharomyces boulardii Jarrow Formulations Jarrow Sacharomyces Boulardii, 90 Capsules and Jarrow-dophilus + FOS Jarrow Formulations Jarrow Jarro-dophilus Eps, 120 Capsules.
Culturelle is definitely worth trying. I've shopped around (Walmart, RiteAid, Walgreens) and the Amazon price is the best I've seen. Believe me, it's much less expensive than almost all the drugs your doctor may prescribe to you! It's EXCELLENT for overall health and specifically for intestinal conditions.
