I have 2 questions about acidophilus!?

1. Does anyone know if it really helps with lactose intolerance?

2. Are there any side effects with taking it?

I started taking some on Monday and since then I've had diarrhea. I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence or if it's the acidophilus.
Thanks for the info.

Is there anything else you can take for lactose intolerance besides lactaid??

It's a probiotic and it's very good. Although acidophilus can help lactose intolerant people tolerate more lactose, you would still probably need to exercise restraint. I'm sure it has its limits. It's unlikely that the diarrhea came from the acidophilus. More likely from excessive intake of lactose.

Kombucha Tea is one good probiotic that may help with lactose intolerance. Also check out your local health food store, like GNC. They'll have lots of alternatives.
