In observing this thread, I haven't seen a single recommendation for probiotics. You can buy capsules that contain the bacteria from yoghurt, but in a dormant state.....they're usually marketted as probiotics.

There are many brands, with Bifidus (Bifidobacterium), and/or Lactobacillus spp. Some call the culture Acidophilus (that's correct, too, but it's an umbrella term for Lactobacilli).

I don't know if these work like yoghurt, though. Obviously, I can't use my own experience. Has anybody used these, instead of yoghurt?

If you do try probiotics, make sure the store you buy them from keeps them in the refrigerator, and that the expiry date is a long way off. These are living creatures, kept dormant in the cold. Their lifespan can be decreased by mishandling.
