Probiotics and Crohns Disease

I found this interesting information (amongst others on crohns.net)

http://www.crohns.net/Miva/education/articles/Probiotics_in_the_Treatment_of_Crohns_Disease.shtml

I've been taking probiotics off and on for a few months now and found them beneficial.  In particular, the one I take is in pill form and contains 1 billion CFU (Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis) Advanced 4-Strain.
I did find, after some trial and error, that I get better results taking the pill about 5-10 minutes before eating.

The Imuran treatment seems to be rolling along just fine.  No problems yet, but I don't "feel" any difference than when I wasn't taking it.  Only a scope will tell I guess.
So far so good.....stay the course.
