I'm guessing the rx one is VSL3-DS? That is one of the 2 I always take, because it has a culture that is as close to O formigene (that supposedly helps with oxalates but cannot be purchased). I'm pretty fart free despite my lack of careful eating, and give credit to the probiotics.I take a RX strength probiotic at 900 billion CFU /sachet. take it everyday with one of my 2 yogurts can't imagine going back to what it was before, gas and bloating, I have been taking it for many years.....

The siggi's vanilla is really good but the fruit flavored mixes taste like freaking sweaty sweat socks smell. LOL
S boulardii is one of the bacteria strains that we try to introduce, like some of the lactobacillis strains. I wish there were a checklist of which strains help which things (like s boulardii supposedly helps with diarrhea) but till they do more studies, there's much we don't know.Is this the one for s. boulardi? if so, how many would you take a day?
BTW, The VSL3 is really pricey!
Oh the vanilla us delicious and in my opinion a million times better than Chobani. I like very thick yogurt and why I like Greek yogurt and not the garbage stuff we has for years. Chobani is too runny and sweet for my tastes. The Siggi's vanilla is thick and not fake sweet tasting. Sweet but very good. You could easily add your own fruit rather than the jelly they call fruit in most yogurts. I eat the vanilla plain but a girl I know said she eats it with crushed almonds and it was awesome when I trued. Fresh peaches or strawberries would be absolutely delucioys.....but yeah the siggis mixed is almost blue cheese type tart tasting.eww that is soooooo gross, I'll stick with chobani thank you
I agree about the list. There the boulardI is a key one and there are couple more. I need to check my messages to see which strains David said were also very good.S boulardii is one of the bacteria strains that we try to introduce, like some of the lactobacillis strains.

My PCP recommended that today. I had an interesting poop test that identified the flora and amounts of some of them. He recommended a probiotic once every three days and yogurt with an active culture.I am starting to think think that yogurt, a good active culture yogurt, is a great way to go.
Yeah i have fiund that a good many of the blends aren't active cultures. The way I look at it doesn't hurt to eat those if not going specifically for the probiotic buy. They still have good protein.BTW I eat Dannon Light and Fit Greek with live active cultures stated on the label. They came out with a special limited edition flavor of Lemon Merengue -- and no where on the label does it say live active cultures. So I guess one has to check every flavor.
