Who drinks them pro-biotic things?

I'm not sure if they are worht it or just part of a huuuggge scam. I went to asda wal-mart last week and they have an aisle JUST for these drinks. I decided to try some.

I got the muller one with the bacteria and omega 3+4. (in peach flavour) my stomach cant tolerate yoghurt much. I can only eat one pot VERY slowly but these drinks i seem to take well.

Are they just a money making scam or are they quite healthy and good to include in your diet?

I noticed they do them for toddlers and kids too...but i was concerned as they may be sugary and fatty and i dont like to give my kids bad foods.

anyone got an opinion? ↓

never tried them. i love yogurt, but drinking it sounds revolting to me. i do give my daughter yo baby organic yogurt and she LOVES it. i'm sure they are probably good for you... they just aren't for me. ↑

Under normal circumstances there is no need to take probiotic drinks. The body is able to regulate it's own gut bacteria and keep itself healthy.

But......

If you have suffered a stomach upset, diarrhoea or have been taking antibiotics, then they can be a good idea. They will speed recovery and make you feel better again more quickly.

I give them to the kids if they've had a gut upset and they seem to work well. ↑
