Best probiotic: home brewed Real Kefir. See Dom's Kefir Making In-Site for lots of info and alternatives like kefir-juice.
I'm in the growing crowd that favors a probiotic-rich diet and believes you need a lot more than yogurt to maintain the colony in your GI Tract. This is most often your first line of defense against pathogens, before your own immune system gets involved. It also helps you digest and absorb nutrients. It also helps your teeth by keeping in check the strep. mutans bacteria in your mouth. So, eat non-homogenized yogurt such as Stonyfield Farms Cream-Top, if you wish. But, also use kefir, kefir juice, lactofermented foods, and capsules or powdered probiotics.
