A good probiotic helps keep good bacteria

I don't take a probitocs, but if your doctor put you on it he felt that it would help you, but if your doctor is not your rheumatologist then I would talk to he or she since they are the ones whom specializes in lupus.

Yes, probiotics (good bacteria) and prebiotics are both very good for us, as Henryey points out. The prebiotics are the plant fiber found in all kinds of produce, and whole foods are so good for our digestive health and blood sugar control.

Thank you that was what I needed to know.
