Just thought I would post this article which talks about how probiotics can help when going through menopause. I found it interesting.

Just read the article Flossieteacake.

Very interesting, I can see that taking oral probiotics could really maybe help vaginal atrophy xx

I am very late to the party regarding probiotics but since I had a bad reaction to medications recently (NHS and it’s preventative medicine policy trying to kill me off)  I have found them to be absolutely essential for my stomach health, I wouldn’t be without them now and I honestly feel so much better for taking them.

It’s better to find the right recipe for you which means doing your research. I doubt very much if probiotics would help with vaginal atrophy, it doesn’t for me but brilliant for my digestive issues.

I also an unsure about probotics helping VA but I cannot do without them for my IBS. Just thought I would post this as many members struggle with digestive issues.

I am not sure but Opticbac are so helpful so perhaps you could email them to ask? I use Optibac everyday probiotics and they were very helpful to me when I emailed them.

Although I found Opticbac probiotic products very expensive for me, their website is full of interesting information to do research before buying probiotics from another supplier, which I did.

Don't know whether probiotics will be able to help with constipation but I know it stabilized my bowel movements which were very unstable due to medications I take.  Worth a try but research first what could be best for you!

I agree that they are expensive. Which brand do you use? I use them as I thought they were the only brand that had the 6 strains of good bacteria. If you know a cheaper one I would love to know. :)

There are so many different types but I have settled on Nu U  Nutrition Bio-Cultures Complex, multi strain formula.
It works well for me and my husband who suffers from IBS.
It has 5 cultures and not 6 but might be worth a look on Amazon where I bought the above.
