Fall Into Good Digestive Health

Fall is in the air around here and I want to be able to enjoy it! Not only is my birthday in the fall, it is also my favorite time of the year! So, to help myself stay healthy this season, I started taking Member’s Mark Probiotics from Sam’s Club a couple of weeks ago and promised I would give you an update on how it is going!

I am happy to report that it is going quite well!!
In my previous post I said:

I did a little research and according to Dr. Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D. with Mayo Clinic Nutritionist, there are some of the things probiotics may help:

Treat diarrhea, especially following treatment with certain antibiotics
Prevent and treat vaginal yeast infections and urinary tract infections
Treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Reduce bladder cancer recurrence
Speed treatment of certain intestinal infections
Prevent and treat eczema in children
Prevent or reduce the severity of colds and flu

The one that most interests me in this list, is the last one “prevent or reduce the severity of colds and flu”!! Also, I have always gotten stomach aches easily and some of my kids do too. They are not horrible and I have never been diagnosed with anything but I want to see if the probiotics can help out with this.

Here is how the past 2 weeks went for me: I felt good the first few day and then, last Friday, after taking the pills for 4 days, I got some kind of bug. I had a sore throat and was really tired. I was worried it was the start of some virus but it quickly blew over and by Saturday afternoon I was feeling good again! My daughter (who is not taking the Member’s Mark Probiotics) got a similar bug that same day but she was feeling sick through Labor Day! The rest of the time I have been illness free! As far as the stomach aches go, I had a couple but did not have one every day and did not take any over-the-counter stomach medicine since I started on the Member’s Mark Probiotics.

Do I think Member’s Mark Probiotics are a cure-all? Of course not! Do I think they will help me be healthier? Yes, I do! I have a 3 month supply of Member’s Mark Probiotics and I am going to continue taking them so hopefully I can have a healthy fall!!
