I am a bit of a experimenter(take a look at my posting history). I have another idea. You know that it is recommended that you buy enteric-coated probiotics in order to bypass the acid in your stomach, right? How about taking an antacid to lower your stomach acidity and taking a high dosage powdered probiotic like VSL3 or Renew Life's Ultimate Flora Super Critical 200 Billion to ensure you get maximum dosage without any of the probiotics being destroyed? Just a thought.
