Over the past 4-5 years, I've tried a few probiotics after talking with docs & pharmacist - fortunately, I've had no digestive or stomach or yeast infection issues with the 3 drugs I've been on. So out of curiosity (or whatever, probably thinking I needed a probiotic) about 3 years ago, I took one that needed to be refrigerated - took this for about a year. It didn't make any difference to me, so I stopped it. I also take a Centrum multi-vitamin, 2 calcium tables, & prescription vitamin D, so adding another pill to the mix didn't appeal to me unless absolutely necessary. Neither my internist or pulmonologist have encouraged me taking a probiotic. . . only said to try it, But that's just ME . . . each of you could be different.

If you 'google' MAC, you can now find quite a bit of information on it. Best to read from various sites, as the info does differ a little. I don't have any thoughts on food to eat or avoid -- since many of us have different habit & dietary restrictions, I'd suggest don't deviate from eating what makes you well.

Most important (for me) is to get plenty of rest (even if I can't sleep), the proper kind of exercise for my particular situation, take my meds, and communication with my doctors. I feel really good this summer!
