Anyone here take the "Activia Challenge"?
http://activiachallenge.com/

I'm on Day 4, and I have to tell you, I feel great.

I was all bloated and miserable following Christmas and New Years, so I decided to give this stuff a try.

It's pretty good.

19. Try chemo and pain pills. This stuff is a godsend
under those circumstances or else you can try to pass a giant brick.

11. How is that different from taking an acidophilus tablet every day?
That's what my gastroenterologist said to do. That and a fiber pill. Everything is cool...

16. They're OTC, no prescript. needed. I get the chewable kind and take
one every morning after breakfast. It's like a little minty thing in my mouth and I like that. I think it's the same thing as a probiotic.

13. You can buy probiotics in capsules.
Much more bang for $ and no taste. g.

14. I have been eating it for several months.
Like you said, I don't feel bloated anymore and much less stomach trouble than I had before.

17. Yakult is another thing you can try.
It is more liquid and comes in ~3 oz bottles.

18. I really like the Activia blueberry
I haven't found it in the lite version, though. Only the peach, which I don't like.

20. It's a scam
There was a piece on ABC World News the other night. There is no scientific proof that it does what it says it does. I think the company is being sued over it too.
