Hi Wayne.

I guess I could say I already do. I too take both probiotics and CS on a
daily basis. I make no efforts to separate the ingestion of one from the
ingestion of the other beyond natural daily routine. I experience no
adverse digestive effects as a result. However I don't believe that will
prove anything other than the fact that I don't have digestive problems.
I too do not consume anything approaching 32 ounces of CS in a day. It
is more like 4 ounces daily, occasionally as much as eight ounces. When
I first started taking CS I noticed some mild stomach pain following the
ingestion of the CS. I backed off some, then over time, I increased my
consumption. I don't consider that to be proof of anything other than
the fact that I did experience some passing pain. This may or may not
have been directly related to my ingestion of CS. Granted it appears
that way on the surface but in my view, that hardly constitutes credible
evidence that CS had any effect on my intestinal flora.
I do give a lot of credibility to anecdotal evidence. I believe its
value though depends largely on numbers. I believe that anecdotal
evidence becomes what I consider to be empirical evidence only after a
sufficient quantity of supporting anecdotal evidence has been amassed.
Thanks for your feedback. I intend to put my experiments up on our
website. In doing so I will be sure to include the anecdotal evidence of
my own experience as well as that provided by other CS users like you.
