Best probiotics?

My doctor said I need probiotics due to issues with my stools.

She said I can use actimel or similar.

I'm wondering which ones are best as I saw something online that said actimel isn't that good and is full of sugar or sweetener.

Has anyone tried kifer? Is that better?

Yes kefir is better because it isn't full of sugar. You can even get kefir grains online and make your own much more cheaply. Would you think about a probiotic supplement? There are plenty of good ones.

Kefir yoghurt and drinks work wonders for my IBS and also drinking enough water

My GP recommended Optibac, she said they have the most research backing them up. I’m taking them.
