Does anyone have a probiotic they recommend? I was on an antibiotic the last week and could use something to help balance out my stomach. -- nm - sycor Jan 8, 13:08 12
- I use kefir. Plain and organic seems to work best. -- nm - . Jan 8, 14:48
- Align but its pricey. Kimchi is better -- nm - SyrDragon Jan 8, 13:35
- And do these really work? -- nm - Spawn Jan 8, 13:25 7
  - From what I've read, the answer is really no. There are so many millions of different bacteria involved that no probiotic actually makes a difference -- nm - pmb Jan 8, 13:26 6
    - The antibiotics they give out now really kills everything and even basic stuff will help kick start the digestive system -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 8, 13:29 3
      - I've been trying yogurt but it doesn't seem to helping much. Figured I'd try something else. Maybe just need to Immodium. -- nm - sycor Jan 8, 13:51 1
        
        It can take a few days. -- nm - . Jan 8, 14:52

  - Hopefully less bloodshed that way. -- nm - spamlet Jan 8, 13:07 10
    - Theoretically (and maybe historically), but "let's have a seven year old as the monarch" has its flaws as well. -- nm - pmb Jan 8, 13:09 9
      - Eh, worked for me. -- nm - Tutankhamen Jan 8, 14:50
      - Saudi Arabia has a similar system to the one you're describing, and their royal family has epic succession struggles. - Roger More Jan 8, 13:39 1
        
        The ottoman system practically required brothers to off their competition. -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 8, 13:42

      - *points to POTUS* -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 8, 13:17 1
        
        Well that was also monumentally stupid but in a different way. -- nm - pmb Jan 8, 13:19
      - would be soooooo rare now. -- nm - Andie Jan 8, 13:10 2
        
        I mean it's all sort of meaningless when it's essentially a figurehead role, but it's still a silly system if that's even possible. -- nm* - pmb Jan 8, 13:12 1
        
        But it's never "well I guess we have to listen to what that toddler says" - Regents are appointed. -- nm - Reagen Jan 8, 13:34
- I think its also about how they just handled it. Apparently no one at Buckingham Palace or in the royal family was consulted prior to the message -- nm - decline Jan 8, 13:06 2
  - hence the 'also' part. -- nm - Diva Jan 8, 13:14
  - Which is the key sin in QEII’s eyes. -- nm - spamlet Jan 8, 13:07

    - *slips you a $50 to shut up* -- nm - Mop Jan 8, 14:45
- I am surprised Mackay isn't going for it. Seems last-chance-ish for him. -- nm - Andie Jan 8, 13:01 4
  - It is. He knows it. But the reception hasn't been the warmest and Mulroney himself is apparently running interference for Charest. -- (edited) - Name Withheld By Request Jan 8, 13:03 3
    - that revelation about Charest and Huawei feels targetted. -- nm - Reagen Jan 8, 13:06 2
      - The Poilievre crew plays for keeps. Kory Teneycke is a mechanic's mechanic. Jenni Byrne there too. -- (edited) - Name Withheld By Request Jan 8, 13:20 1
        
        Possibly relevant tweet -- (link) - Roger More Jan 8, 14:08
