How I prevent puking (related to ILLNESS, not band)

Hi everyone....

I have been seeing here and there that you have to get unfilled if you get stomach flu...etc. If you are vomiting.

I have taken this for YEARS to PREVENT getting those seasonal bugs that float through the workplace...no colds and no flu. It's like I have a protective forcefield around me...everyone is dropping like flies getting sick and I am not. It strengthens your immune system.

ACIDOPHILUS 4 X 6 BILLION 60 CAPS - NOW FOODS - Code 2920

You can get it at most major grocery stores (has to be refrigerated) and it's rather cheap too. I follow the dosing instruction on the bottle but when I get in to flu season and people are getting sick around me I bump up my dose...I double the dose and take it more than once a day too.

Thought I would share...and seriously...haven't puked in YEARS. :)

Have a great day!

Thanks for the info.

I actually started taking [a different brand] just before surgery. I was just taking it initially to get my intestines back on track after having a ummm, diarrhea episode (sorry!). Then I figured after surgery, I should go back on them to ensure intestinal health after all the liquids, surgical fluids and meds.

I didn't know that being on them could help with intestinal illnesses. My biggest fear now is getting the stomach flu! I'll be getting a flu shot again this year too.
