I tried this stuff called Dannon Activia Yogurt. It's cheap, you can find it in any store,(Wal Mart, etc.) and it's supposed to improve digestive health if you eat it for 14 days. It has something in it called Bifidus Regularis- which is supposed to be a strain of bacteria already living in your intestinal tract which has been proven to be one of the most beneficial. I don't really need it, I guess I just love the taste.

Yogurt is definitely the first answer. There are other fermented products available, such as Kefir and acidolphilus milk.. They list on the label that they have live cultures in them. Cottage cheese is not on of them.Although some cheeses still have the bacteria in them.
You can check online for fermented milk products.
Some foreign terms are: piima, koumiss, dulce de leche, kajmak,airag,vla, viila,filmjolk, and etc.

Are you taking antibiotics? That is the number one way to KILL the positive bacteria, along with everything else.
Anything with bacillus will increase the positive bacteria. Dannon has a new yogurt, Activa, that was developed for this. Health stores have bacillus capsules, usually in their refrigerated sections.

not taking antibiotics when you don't need them - many people go to their doctor when they have a cold and want drugs to "cure" them and many doctors give prescriptions for antibiotics just to get people out of their office as fast as possible - DON"T take antibiotics unless you have been tested for an infection!
Don't use any antibacterial soaps/creams
http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0NAH/is_2_32/ai_83316363/pg_2 Fermented foods such as miso and sauerkraut, pickled vegetables, and cultured dairy products like yogurt, kefir, sour cream, and cheese contain beneficial bacteria. Look for unpasteurized products, and look for the words "live and active cultures" on your yogurt label. Also check to see how many kinds of bacteria are listed (L. acidophilus should be one of them). The more on the label, the better. Aim for two to three servings a day.

Take acidophilus capsules...I am not even joking that these things changed my life...I take one in the morning and one before bed...always away from food...and they improved my digestion and my stomach just feels better all together! Yogurt and kefir can really help too but i HIGHLY reccomend taking these in addition...
USE THIS BRAND-

Probiotics are probably the best, but eating an alkaline, high greens diet and not drinking or or other harmful food choices will help maintain that bacteria and allow it to grow.
