Greetings to the List, and Hi Jade and Marsha!, Sorry, I don't have any double blind studies on this one either. :)
Some have mentioned that by taking a very concentrated solution, and without diluting it, chugging it down, have become seriously constipated. In concentrated form it apparently made it to the large intestine without being totally absorbed. It tooks weeks to rebuild the friendly flora and have things back to normal from what I have observed. A lot of folks use the lower concentrations and never have any problems, at least none that are noticed. Pro-biotics are generally a good thing to use from time to time even without CS in ones' diet. The consensus of the Alt med Newsletters I am reading is on the side of keeping the friendly flora optimised through the use of Pro-biotics occasionally. Hope this helps.
