I like to take probiotics while I'm taking antibiotics to see who's going to come out on top.

For my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier... I put them in the same room and let them fight it out

I'm happy to colonize the intestines of anyone who needs it. Just let me know

I was today years old when I saw probiotic as opposite to antibiotic.

I work in health care.

Remember to feed your probiotics with prebiotics!

Probiotics last about 48 hours in your gut before your own microbiome out competes them and they die off. That's why you need to have another everyday.

Just get a fecal matter transplant and kick-start off a whole new microbiome from a healthier person.

I'd rather drink yogurt every day than take poop pills tbh, but I respect other people's choices.

Not pills. Mostly, they send the poop transplant through your nose, apparently, often after mixing it with 4% milk.

I, too, wish I hadn't learned it, but it all happened so fast.

"In the United States, human feces has been regulated as an experimental drug since 2013."

Best sentence in the entire article.

Be sure to check the expiration date, lest you need to urgently rectify your mistake

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

Honestly, it's fairly safe. A probiotic food is already colonized/being eaten by micro-organisms and they want to keep other micro-organisms out. I've eaten a cup of yogurt that was a year past it's expiration date and only noticed because it was so tangy.
