there is a research study that i read about the other day into whether good bacteria could be transferred from dogs to people.

afaik, most of the products on the market dont really work that well. there are prescription grades ones that do have some positive research results.
this is not a new thing. they were researching this at least 10 years ago when my youngest was dx'd with chron's. they were not recommended for her, because the research wasnt there.

also, see a doctor.
