There are many different types of probiotics. I'm sort of experimenting with different types to see if any work better than others. I have digestive issues as well, so that's what led me down this path. Even different brands or types of yogurt contain different strains. Some may have more noticeable benefits than others. As I said, I'm still experimenting, even with pill form probiotic supplements (although, yes, these are rather expensive). But hey, what's money if you don't feel well, right? I'm willing to try just about anything. I thought the research in this article was pretty interesting. It may or may not work for everyone, but anything's worth a go to kick anxiety as far as I'm concerned as long as it's safe.
