Probiotics rock!

Thank you Dr. Sears for introducing me to the wonderful world of probiotics! Baby boy's wicked case of diarrhea (12 + times a day!!!) has cleared up thanks to a few doses of bacteria filled yogurt. Doesn't sound too appetizing, but it actually doesn't taste that bad. Probiotic yogurt is recommended for stomach viruses and all sorts of other ailments. But, like all things in life, buyer beware. Not all probiotic milk products are created equally. I did some research and came across this article on CBC Marketplace.

Probiotics (also available in tablet form) are also great for nursing mothers -- especially ones who are prone to yeast problems.
