Oh, Canada! (thank you, thank you)

I am NOT exaggerating when I say that these (yes, these) have changed my life:

Thanks to my bestie’s Canadian sister-in-law who is (1) amazing (2) has been using Jamieson probiotics for years and (3) got me hooked when she sent me a totally-not-sketchy international package containing two packs of probiotics, I am pleased to report that I’ve had a happy tummy for four months straight!  Here’s the Q+DD on probiotics and why you should get them from Canada instead of your local Whole Foods:

Probiotics aid with digestion and regularity.  They reduce bloating and other gastrointestinal symptoms.  Probiotics have more health benefits than yogurt with only a fraction of the calories (a mere six calories per stick).  Each stick provides a minimum of one billion active cells (better to not think about this for too long) to support healthy intestinal balance and promote immunity. 

Probiotics can come in many forms, but the Jamieson brand from Canada - that I love so much - does not require refrigeration or water.  They are all natural and the Jamieson stick brand comes in a tasty red plum flavor.  Seriously, it takes like candy.  PLUS, the box has French on it – so you feel super fancy when it arrives in the mail.  (It’s the little things, right?!  Right!) 

I order mine from www.well.ca.  If you go in with a few other people, you can order in bulk and reduce shipping cost. 

I wish you all happy tummys!
