I read somewhere that your body makes more than enough of the "good" bacteria naturally, so these things are a waste of money. Plus you get the same bacteria in Shape yoghurts which are much cheaper.
Of course, I am recorded in the Guiness Book of Records as the least healthy person in the history of time, so you may chose to ignore my advice. :D

That actimel stuff is just a placebo. When a relative was in hospital, they suggested using this to the doctor to help with an intestinal problem they had, and the doctor said that if the stuff is left out of the fridge for more than about 20mins then the bacteria die anyway. I used to work for a `well known supermarket` and can guarantee that the stuff is left out of the fridge for longer than that - mormally 1-1.5 hours on nights. :o

Another point - the bad bacteria in your tummy loves sugar and feeds of it. What does Actimel contain? Sugar!! So, even if you did manage to get some benefit out of it in the form of Good bacteria, it is also feeding the bad bacteria at the same time!!

Well i am going to back this stuff up,its worked wonders for me. 3 years of stomach hell came to an end thanks to that little bottle.Great price by the way.
When I was sharing a house with some friends I had a botle of this stuff that I had forgot about in the fridge. One night when we were watching a film BANG We had know idea what it was untill someone went to get a beer. Opon opening the fridge we were cofronted by a pink smelly slime covering everything. Anyway we blamed kerry and made her clean it up.
All the best,
