Just saw this article regarding a study done in the U.K. and would like more expert opinions regarding it's credibility/validity.

Thanks to the likes of Dr. oz and The Doctors TV shows, and this guy's TV show called "Trust Me I'm a Doctor" my BS detector is activated.

Hmm I can't find that article anymore, but I found this one: www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2752798/The-probiotic-drinks-don-t-bring-benefits-Study-finds-good-bacteria-products-does-not-reach-small-intestine.html

And here are the takeaways:
"nyone using a probiotic should take it on an empty stomach after waking."
"Waiting at least 10 minutes afterwards before eating will help reduce the chance of the beneficial bacteria being killed by stomach fluids"

Another option is to stay away from processed products. It's better to eat fermented foods.
