Does anyone know if probiotics should be taken for a period of time (to improve gut health) or continually? They were recommended by a nutritionist as one a day supplement, to be increased following a bout of illness, while travelling or after a change of medication. Any thoughts?

I think it depends why you are taking them. I take a daily dose of Symprove, but I have a couple of chronic health conditions which it helps to manage.

I used to take probiotics after a course of antibiotics, but I read that they don’t get much further than the stomach and don’t actually get to the gut so stopped taking them
