Default Probiotics and your Appendix

In yesterday's Daily Sun there was an article about probiotics.

The article didn't recommend getting probiotics from pills. Instead it recommended various dairy products. The article was okay but it didn't make it clear that you don't need to keep consuming dairy. Once you get the probiotics you need in your gut, your gut will take care of itself. The bacteria will keep reproducing, assuming you're living a "normal" lifestyle and not taking antibiotics.

Vegans, for example, don't eat dairy and usually don't need probiotics. If your system is working well, it will maintain itself.

In other news separate from the article: It was recently "discovered" that the appendix serves as a reservoir for good bacteria. Ideally, this is the best way to repopulate the gut with a complete balance of good bacteria.
