Have you ever taken antibiotics? If you have, you know these drugs can be live-saving. They can also disrupt your immune system and digestive tract, annihilating all the good bacteria with the bad.

During a recent necessary bout with some strong antibiotics, I tried GoodBelly, a new drinkable probiotic product, with great results. GoodBelly is the newest venture of Steve Demos, sustainable business leader and pioneer of phenomenally successful WhiteWave soy products and Silk soymilk. Loaded with billions of good bacteria, GoodBelly tastes great, with three fruit juice flavors, and has no soy, dairy, or wheat, so it won’t inflame or trigger allergies.

The makers recommend taking it daily even when healthy to maintain an optimal digestive state. Intestinal health might be an indelicate subject, but it’s so important to well-being that no one should ignore it.
