Has anyone taken this stuff?  Was on leave in Central America and experienced "travelers diarrhea".  Cause unknown, most likely local water.  In an effort to curtail my symptoms I took this stuff on a local doctors recommendation.  You can get this at the local pharmacy and all it is is a set of probiotic vials w/ a set of pills.  BL, do you think I am required to tell the flight doc I took it upon my return or no?  It did work and I feel fine now. 

 

Thanks
