An improved coating material possessing super-hard and low friction properties and a method for forming the same. The improved coating material includes the use of a noble metal or soft metal homogeneously distributed within a hard nitride material. The addition of small amounts of such metals into nitrides such as molybdenum nitride, titanium nitride, and chromium nitride results in as much as increasing of the hardness of the material as well as decreasing the friction coefficient and increasing the oxidation resistance.
1. An improved coating material having improved lubrication and hardness properties, comprising:
a hard nitride coating having nanocrystalline grains of size from about 10–100 nm; and
a soft metal homogeneously distributed within the hard nitride coating in the form of a nanocrystalline size film of a few atomic layers thickness coating the nanocrystalline hard nitride grains and the soft metal ranging between about 0.2–20 wt. percent, the soft metal thereby combining with the hard nitride coating to form a nanostructured, nanocomposite film,
wherein the soft metal comprises a component selected from the group consisting of tin, antimony, bismuth, silver, indium, platinum gold and alloys thereof.

about 98.8 to 80.0 weight percent of a hard nitride coating;
about 0.2 to 20.0 weight percent of soft metal homogeneously distributed within the hard nitride coating, the soft metal combining with the hard nitride coating to form a film; and
the film comprising nanocrystalline structures of about 10 nm to about 50 nm;
wherein the soft metal comprises a component selected from the group consisting of tin, antimony, silver, indium, gold, platinum, zinc and alloys combinations thereof.
This invention was made with government support under Contract No. W-31-109-ENG-38 awarded to the Department of Energy. The Government has certain rights in this invention.
The present invention relates to coating materials with low-friction properties. More particularly, the present invention relates to nitride coatings, which possess low friction and improved wear properties under boundary lubricated sliding conditions.
From a tribological standpoint, a combination of high mechanical hardness with low friction is always desired but seldom achieved in most sliding surfaces. With many conventional coatings, base steel sliding against itself gives friction coefficients of 0.12 to 0.16 even under the best lubrication conditions.
Alloying ingredients used in certain coatings are inherently soft and therefore possess fairly good solid lubrication properties. Metals such as copper, tin, antimony, cadmium and zinc show good lubrication properties under oil lubricated sliding conditions as well. Specifically, these metals primarily undergo easy shear under loaded sliding contacts due to their softness. In one set of sliding experiments with pure metals under lubricated conditions, pure copper, bismuth, antimony, tin, and zinc were considered. All of the metals except bismuth resulted in a low friction coefficient, confirming that the respective metals were lubricious under lubricated sliding conditions. Additionally, some of the aforementioned metals, such as zinc, possess a good ability to react with the additives in lubricants to form chemical boundary films on sliding surfaces. These chemical films may also possess some lubrication or anti-friction properties. However, soft metals and their films have typically not been used as structural materials for lubricated applications under severe loading conditions, primarily due to their poor mechanical properties and rapid wear.
For all of these reasons, it would be desirable to develop a new and improved coating that possess an improved degree of hardness relative to conventional coatings while also possessing improved lubrication properties.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide an improved coating material that possesses a substantially increased hardness relative to conventional soft coatings.
It is another object of the invention to provide an improved coating materials which possesses extremely low friction properties relative to conventional hard coatings.
It is an additional object of the invention to provide an improved coating materials with improved wear properties under boundary lubricated sliding conditions.
In accordance with the above objects, an improved coating material is based on the use of a noble and soft metals such as Au, or a soft metal such as Cu, In, Sn, Sb, Ga and Bi, with hard nitrides, carbonitrides, and borides such as MoN, CrN, TiN, TiCN, TiB2 and ZrN. The addition of small amounts of these metals into MoN, CrN and TiN results in an increase of the hardness of the nitride coatings, in addition to improving the lubricity of these coatings. In particular, it has been found that concentrations of about 1–3 at % of the materials described herein provide for substantial increases in lubricity of the nitride coatings.
The present invention comprises a class of improved nano-composite nitride coatings that are hard and at the same time possess super lubricious properties providing friction coefficients of 0.02–0.05 under marginally lubricated test conditions. Without the coating, base steel sliding against itself gives friction coefficients of 0.12 to 0.16 even under the best lubrication conditions. The coating of the present invention therefore possess both substantially improved hardness and improved lubricity relative to conventional coatings.
The present invention incorporates the use of noble metals and soft metals such as Sn, Sb, Ag, and In, that do not react with hard nitrides such as MoN, CrN, TiN, and ZrN. It was initially believed that the addition of such metals into these nitrides might improve the lubricity of the coatings at high temperatures by providing improved shear qualities, in the case of Au, and by forming lubricious oxides in the case of Sn, In, and Sb.
However, mechanical characterization of composite coatings has revealed that the addition of small amounts Sn, Sb, and In, into MoN, CrN, and TiN coatings during physical vapor deposition results in significant increases-of the hardness of these coatings while also increasing the oxidation resistance of the coatings in some instances. For example, the hardness of these coatings has been found to increase from 2000–3000 kg/mm2 to more than 4500 kg/mm2. Both X-rays and TEM studies have revealed that most nitride coatings underwent an unusual transformation in their grain morphology. Specifically, the grain morphology of nitride coatings changed from an open columnar morphology to a dense equiaxed morphology composed of very small nanocrystalline grains typically ranging in size from 10 to 50 nm.
The coating material according to the present invention comprises a transition metal nitride, carbonitride, carbide and boride containing from about 0.2 to 20.0 wt/% of a "soft" metal, such as Bi, In, Sb and Au. Compared with other hard materials, such as transition metal carbides, nitrides and borides, coatings according to the present invention are substantially harder.
Mechanically, such an apparent change in morphology translates into increase of the hardness, while tribologically the films become extremely wear resistant and superlubricious, providing friction coefficients of 0.02–0.05 when tested in a fully formulated motor oil. These are very low friction values for a boundary lubrication regime (during which direct metal-to-metal contact prevails) relative to conventional coatings. Small amounts of metallic additives, such as Au, Sn, Sb, In, used in the coatings have a dramatic synergistic and/or catalytic effect on friction under oil lubricated sliding conditions. Specifically, the inclusion of the above metallic additives facilitate the formation of a super-slippery boundary film that is responsible for such a reduction in friction. Such a film is not a temporary or transitory entity. Instead, the film is replenished continuously through chemical reactions with additives in lubricating oils.
In one test, the test coatings were deposited using conventional physical vapor deposition (PVD). Vapor deposition techniques allow for the easy integration or incorporation of soft metals into the hard nitride phase. Co-deposition of the hard phase and the soft phase is possible through varying physical vapor deposition techniques. The coatings can be deposited on low-medium or high alloyed steels and cast iron or aluminum alloy substrates at moderate temperatures, for example in the range of about 100–550° C., and at high growth rates using conventional cathodic arc discharge, ion-plating, sputter ion-plating, unbalanced magnetron sputtering and laser ablation methods. Preferably, the method provides an intense plasma discharge sufficient to form nano-sized nitrides.
In one set of tests, the friction values under dry, unlubricated sliding conditions in open air were in the range of 0.2 to 0.4, which is very low for dry sliding. In comparison purposes, steel sliding against steel had a friction coefficient of 0.8 under the same sliding conditions and suffered severe wear. The wear rates of the improved coatings are hard to measure even after sliding for more than a week. The bulk of these coatings is made of transition metal nitrides, but they contain very small amounts of soft metals.
Research has verified that these coatings are nano-crystalline. The grains (typically between 10 and 100 nm) are made of hard nitrides, but the grain boundaries consist of a few atomic layers of Au, Sb, Sn, and In. The total atomic concentrations of these grain boundary metals are between 0.2 and 25%.
The data in
Furthermore, it has been determined that the friction coefficient for the new coatings of the present invention also improves in H2SO4-containing "dirty" oil. As shown in
Coatings developed in accordance with the present invention could be highly beneficial when used with a variety of components which typically undergo a large amount of wear. For example, engine wear parts, such as valve seats, gears, fuel injectors, piston rings and cylinder liners could be significantly improved with coatings according to the present invention. In the transportation field, potential key benefits for components incorporating the present invention include extended wear life, lower maintenance cost and higher reliability in advanced engines that operate under increasingly harsh conditions. The coatings of the present invention may also increase energy efficiency by decreasing frictional losses between sliding engine parts and components such as piston rings and cylinder liners. The coatings can also reduce environmental emissions by allowing higher radial loadings on top compression rings that regulate blow-bys and oil leakage to combustion chambers.
Other potential applications in transportation sector include piston rings and cylinder liners, fuel injectors, gears, rolling and sliding bearings, pump seals, valves and valve seats, tappets, and many other parts that subjected to severe friction and wear situations. These super hard coatings can be deposited on steel and cast iron substrates at moderate temperatures (i.e., 200–400° C.) and at high growth rates using, for example, conventional cathodic arc discharge, ion-plating, unbalanced magnetron sputtering, and laser ablation methods. The present invention may also have large impact on metal-cutting and forming industries where dry or marginally lubricated machining/forming of steel and other metals may be feasible.
While several embodiments have been shown and described in this application, it is understood that changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from the invention's broader aspects. For example, metals such as zinc or platinum could be used in as alloying ingredients for the nitride coating. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the described and illustrated embodiments, but only by the scope and spirit of the independent and dependent claims.

Hartford -- Three of the four senators and three of the 10 representatives from southeastern Connecticut voted against the guns, mental health and school secruity bill being signed into law today by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.
The bill passed 26 to 10 in the Senate and 105 to 44 in the House.
State Representatives Ed Jutila, D-Niantic, Rep. Kevin Ryan, D-Montville and Timothy Bowles, D-Preston, voted against the bill. "My constituents, everyone but two of them, said to vote against the bill," Ryan said on Wednesday.
He said he supports universal background checks. But the bill in general raises a lot of questions. For example, it's not clear how high-capacity magazines would be registered, he said.
Bowles said, "I believe that I am up here at the will of my constituents and I am responding to the majority of my constituents up here."
The seven local representatives who voted in favor of the bill were Reps. Diana Urban, D-North Stonington, Betsy Ritter, D-Waterford, Edward Moukawsher, D-Groton, Elissa Wright, D-Groton, Ernest Hewett, D-New London, Brian Sear, D-Canterbury, and Emmett Riley, D-Norwich.
"I don't think the bill is perfect, but it is unprecedented work and provides a response to what happened in Newtown," Ritter said on Wednesday.
She said she had worked primarily on the mental health part of the bill and was pleased with the mental health measures. Allowing school boards to offer mental health first aid trainings will help with early identification in young children. The training teaches people how to recognize and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders.
The legislature still needs to figure out how to help youth as they get older but this is a "good beginning," Ritter said.
Wright said the bill struck a good balance between public safety and the Second Amendment.
The senators from southeastern Connecticut who voted against the bill were Andrew Maynard, D-Stonington, Cathy Osten, D-Sprague and Art Linares, R-Westbrook.
Osten said many from the rural 19th District reached out to her. This bill puts people who purchase weapons for hunting and competition at risk, she said.
Osten said Wednesday, before the vote, that she would like to say that the bill makes changes so that "no one would have to see another dead 6-year-old, that no one would have to respond to a tragedy as significant as what happened down at Sandy Hook. But this legislation does not provide that protection, in my opinion. It puts at risk legal gun owners."
Maynard said his constituents also told him to vote against the bill.
"I went out and I talked to people on every side of the issue for the last two-and-a-half months, and at the end of that process, I had to cast the most challenging vote of my legislative career," Maynard said.
Linares said the bill created "unnecessary harm" for law-abiding citizens. The state needs to focus on mental health to address the tragedy of Sandy Hook, he said.
State Sen. Andrea Stillman, D-Waterford, was the only senator from the region to vote in favor of the bill.
"I am proud to support (this bill) and certainly hope that colleagues here in the circle will do the same," Stillman said on Wednesday. "I believe this bill is a great opportunity for Connecticut to set a framework for other states to follow."
President Barack Obama will visit the University of Hartford on Monday to make another push for federal gun control legislation.

Boeing is trying to plan on making 10 787 jets a month. They are now making only making 3 carbon-composite jets a month. Boeing plans to meet their goal of making 10 787 jets by the end of 2013. Now they are taking one step at a time by trying to make at least 5 jets the month.

bloomorelse(Z4b NB Canada)January 26, 2008
I got my Botanus Catalogue last week, and there were no Asltromeria in it. I ordered some of them on-line last year, but the were the tall ones. I wanted some of the shorter Princess ones. Anyone know where a person can order these on-line or by mail?
bloomorelse(Z4b NB Canada)
I contacted 2 large ones and one replied back that since they were not hardy, they no longer carry them. I just tonight replied back that I didn't understand this reason, as Glads, calla lilies, etc are not hardy and everyone sells them. Also, if they could sell potted annuals why couldn't they sell potted ones as an annual, not a perrenial. Anxious to see their reply...if I even get one.

hey everyone im new here. i need some advice my 27 year old husband is a bed wetter and has some day time accidents as well. this has been going on for about a year or so. been to the doctors but not much has come from that but a bunch of tests. and no conclushion. about 2 months ago i reached my braking point when i found him sleeping on the bran new couch in front of the t.v. with a big wet spot on the couch. which in turn i went out and bought him some diapers. when he got home i told him if he wanted to use the furniture or the bed he would have to wear protection. he put up a big fight for the first week or so. took me threatning to expose his secret. now he willingly wears protection. but i belive his selfesteam is shattered which is creating distince between us. what should i do?
coalboilerman6/10/2012 9:31:00 AM
I have to agree. This type of "attitude" is more common in the younger generation now than ever before. I was married one time, and it seemed as though I was only supposed to be around when she needed me, or had time in her busy life of freinds, church, work, etc. That got old really fast, and I have been back to being single and happy for several years now because of it. I treat my wife as if she is part of me. But I sure did not get that in return. I for one believe this post is real, and she really believes she has to find him help.

I was diagnosed with Cauda Equina Syndrome six years ago, and although the root cause has been resolved, the condition left me bladder incontinent. I am an active professional with a family, and in order to lead a "normal" life must wear diapers to manage my loss of bladder control. I took responsibility for my physical condition, got the medical evaluation and help that I needed and took the required steps necessary to get on with life. My wife has been very understanding, has accepted my condition and what I need to do to manage it. I did everything I could and so has she...we worked together to deal with a difficult and humiliating condition. What some may interpret as heartlessness here, could also be viewed as attention-getting tough love. This husband clearly had a problem and hadn't dealt with it very effectively. Expecting that a spouse should be willing to accept a wet bed, wet pants and wet furniture may be asking too much, especially given that there are plenty of ways to deal with this. At any rate, she took the step that he wouldn't. The fact that she posted here is a posititve sign. Hopefully they can work together and seek the medical attention that he needs. Most causes of incontinence can be cured, or at least helped, so the need for diapers or other absorbent products won't be necessary. It's true, that like others who are incontinent, I have a disability of sorts. However, I don't assume that it's the responsibility of others to simply accept my condition on my terms. I am discrete and responsible, and do all that I can to help others understand what I have to deal with. Consequently, I have found that those close to me who are aware of my incontinence are supportive and considerate. I know that these circumstances can be difficult and frustrating, and I hope that this helps. Good luck!
bedwetter7896/11/2012 3:53:00 PM
I am sorry but I feel the way the post read this person humiliated, derated and forced her husband to wear a diaper and wants us to tell her how to fix their relationship. Sorry you broke it you fix it with that attitude and maybe she should have had some respect for us.
LynnK21046/20/2012 5:35:00 PM
OK, THE BIGBOSS made a mistake. But she can patch things up at home with an appology, time and a pledge of acceptace for his condition. He does have a responsability here to be part of the solution. He doesn't have to settle for diapers but tried to find the cause with no luck so far. Chances are high he may remain diaper dependent, but it doesn't have to destroy his self esteem. He can still be a whole person, just with an aide to help him.

I saw a Doctor on YouTube talking about incontinence and he said something that made a lot of sense to me…
You might be interested in:
Extra pounds mean excess pressure on your bladder. With a weight loss of just 5–10%, you can prevent this…and help control urinary leakage.
Do 3-4 sets of these pelvic floor muscle exercises every day, and you can strengthen the muscles that help control urination.
Drinking less makes urine more concentrated, and may irritate the lining of the urethra and bladder. Keep your bladder healthy with at least 50-oz of water a day.
Urine leakage can be caused by many factors, and may be improved or cured with the right diagnosis. Consult your doctor or a specialist to discuss your situation.
By keeping a bathroom journal and recording fluid intake, bathroom trips and leaks – you'll discover patterns to share with your doctor.
While you can't prevent urine odor, you can curb it by drinking more water, taking urine-deodorizing tablets, like vitamin C; or drinking non-citrus juices.
Caffeine, alcohol, acidic foods, chocolate, artificial sweeteners, carbonated drinks and spices can irritate your bladder. If any of these trigger your leakage, remove them from your diet.

Since its in the upgrade list it will not interfere with your main reputation projects, most of the time the upgrade slot should be empty.
This means that an elite run will result is 1160 dilithum average after 5 runs. The drop is only on elite though so normal will probably end up being 480 only. I did not see any way to trade normal marks for dilithum.
There is NO additional drop besides the marks and elite drop. No loot bags either, regardless of getting the optional. It kind of kills the anticipation of finding out what you will get. Felt a bit like a let down after it was over.

The sad truth is that the conquest and capture of Africans and their sale to Europeans was one of the main sources of foreign exchange for several African kingdoms for a very long time. Slaves were the main export of the kingdom of Kongo; the Asante Empire in Ghana exported slaves and used the profits to import gold. Queen Njinga, the brilliant 17th-century monarch of the Mbundu, waged wars of resistance against the Portuguese but also conquered polities as far as 500 miles inland and sold her captives to the Portuguese. When Njinga converted to Christianity, she sold African traditional religious leaders into slavery, claiming they had violated her new Christian precepts. –"Ending the Slavery Blame-Game," Henry Louis Gates, Jr., New York Times

Still smarting from the 1975 "Pepsi Challenge" taste-test battle, Coca-Cola Co. launches "Project Kansas," a top-secret mission to reformulate Coke. President-Chief Operating Officer Robert Goizueta appoints Coca-Cola USA head Brian Dyson, who taps marketing chief Sergio Zyman to head the endeavor. Mr. Zyman and company test a new, sweeter version of the flagship cola with 190,000 nationwide taste tests at a cost of $4 million. At a bottlers' meeting in Atlanta back on April 22, 1985, Mr. Zyman announced from the stage that Coke was changing its taste. The next day Coca-Cola revealed the new, sweeter taste to financial analysts and the media. But word of the new product finally leaks out and Pepsi dispatches its own press assault on the same day claiming victory. "The other guy blinked," Pepsi says in ads saying Coke reformulated its brand to taste "more like" Pepsi. –"New Coke: One of Marketing's Biggest Blunders Turns 25," Abbey Klaassen, Advertising Age

Though it may seem paradoxical, the "gay agenda" today is fundamentally conservative. Neither gay activists nor mainstream conservatives will be happy to admit this, of course. Those in the conservative movement resistant to making peace with the main criteria of this program—the extension of civil marriage rights, the right to serve openly in the military, the right to adopt children, and the acceptance of homosexuality itself as a benign, naturally occurring feature of humanity—continue to think of the gay rights movement as it was in its heyday of the immediate post-Stonewall era. They see gay people as threats to the traditional American family structure and social order, which, to be fair, most of the prominent gay activists at the time were….Today, there are no calls for free love or the sanctifying of bathhouses as battlegrounds for civil rights. The young gay activists protesting today do so in order to get married. They want to join a bedrock institution, not tear it apart. –"A Conservative Conundrum," James Kirchick, The Advocate

Giant Carrots
Ok...me again. I'm growing a few giant carrots also....any idea when they are done? How do you know when the undeground portion is at its maximum size? When a flower shows up is it done growing?.I know NOTHING about carrots ....S
Bernard Lavery was working for an Arab prince last I heard . you can get some of his varieties from "Thompson and Morgan" also check Ken Whealeys book "seed inventory " (latest year available) , and the U.S.A. germplasm GENE BANK ,SEED BANK ( I think it is www.ARS-GRIN.GOV ). Bernard Lavery's book "I can grow " will give you other help . good luck.
How to grow a giant carrot
You should always "dig in" any giant vegetable deep with lots of organic matter, take extra care over feeding, watering and pest control and, if showing, harvest at the very last moment for freshness.
Fill a 6in-wide 4 foot long drainpipe with clean fine sand. (Always be optimistic). Make a hole in the sand with a long pole and fill it with good potting compost. Sow three seeds in the compost and thin to the best one when they have germinated.
Water from the top for the first two months and thereafter from the bottom to encourage the roots to seek out moisture. At harvest time wash out as much sand as possible using a hosepipe before very gently pulling up the carrot. If you pull too hard you may damage the long tapering root. The longest carrot was grown by Bernard Lavery. 16 feet 10 1/2 inches. You can still purchase his book on Amazon "How To Grow Giant Vegetables" Good luck.

In any event, Mr. Netanyahu after the election sought to soften his statement on Palestinian statehood and apologized for what he conceded were remarks that "offended some Israeli citizens and offended members of the Israeli Arab community."
A worthy idea any way you look at it.
There is something quite distinctive about the biblical approach to time.

The fact that a congresswoman and head of the DNC felt the need to recant what is obvious and at the same time threatening to American Jews is more of a commentary on the state of American Jewry and less on the dishonesty of a dithering politician.
In his September speech to the UN, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pointed to that fox when he compared Iran to the Nazis.
It is hard to believe that only one hundred years ago religion played such a central and accepted role in the personal and governmental lives of American citizens that its invocation was standard.
We see pictures of mosques, monuments for terrorists, illegal schools, and hundreds of apartments being built on Jewish land without repercussions. We are losing Jewish property, so it is up to us to protect it.
What's important is to make the case for Israel more forcefully and to give it the articulation that the next presidential candidates ought to have.
From Obamacare to Common Core to gay marriage, radical agendas are pushed through the legal system.
In the fury and flurry of publicity surrounding the Klinghoffer opera, another musical affront to Jews almost went unnoticed.
You're not going to change public opinion. The media are so biased you can't get your story through. But what counts is America.

So, I signed w/Netflix a few months back and along with it I get 1 bluray in the mail out at a time with my plan...a great deal with all else there is to stream too. I get my first disk in and, run to newegg and order a Blu-ray drive for my PC, get it and go to grab some software ...Surprise! It's all wrapped up in licensing and player software are going to run around $50-60 to play the Blu-ray and as I understood it (please comment if you know different) the licensed software is only good for a certain amount of time, all a big WTfreak.
So considering I may have to upgrade my software after a time, I figure a wifi stand alone player may be best as I can use that with no upgrades in the future so, I order and I'll just have to eat the BR drive.
Got it in today and instead of the Panasonic they say is so good at updating their firmware, I get a cheaper model Samsung that flickers and pops at times. Point being, I can return it no problem and the seller is just a jerk.
That's all mainly rant...my main concern now is, I may have wrongly assumed I could play the BR player through my PC because the player had WIFI. I was able to get the Player to go to the internet for, best I could tell, useless things but if I can get it to play through my PC to my TV/monitor, I can't figure out how, or I just stopped trying in hopes someone could save me some time. Player works fine with HDMI run to the TV/Monitor but I have no surround sound unless I can play it through my PC so, that needs to happen. I could use my surround with the PC BR drive and software but the 30 day evaluation ran out and went the other rout anyway. I can get another software with 30day evaluation and maybe a few more tom last a few months but eventually I'll need to spend some money to keep it legal.
Is the Wifi on the BR stand alone player capable of playing the disk through my pc? Or is that WIFI just so the Player can get on the net?
If I had the next step up or so Logitech Surround sound, I could run it through my TV but as it is, I can't...it has to go through my PC.
With all the info in mind, any suggestions from someone somewhat in the know about this stuff? Am I right about the software needing upgrading after a time at nearly full price, if not I could go back tom that route and return the SA Player.
Any advice would be helpful on what to do here.
I might have just a half dozen pages a month to convert from jpeg to pdf like this: https://app.box.com/s/xu73nk2tj5bq2dxdg6as Is there a free converter that wont have that watermark like the PDF Xchange watermarks on that one? Or suggest a cheap one if I have to buy.

Culturelle-great for most, but beware of possible allergy to bacteria strain
12 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2682593 on Oct 13, 2010
This is a phenomenal probiotic product that completely eliminated clostridia from my husband's gut - verified via tests. However, be aware that SOME people are severely allergic to the lactobacillus bacteria strain. My mother developed an allergic reaction when taking this product which included bladder and kidney problems and severe rash on her arms. Nowhere is this possible reaction noted on the product. This went on for weeks until we did more research. We had to do several searches on the internet and came across this finding. Within 48 hours of stopping culturelle, her symptoms abated. Scary. Just beware.

Both my husband and I could not tolerate Culturelle. We both suffered uncomfortable AND prolonged intestinal gas and bloating right after taking a capsule, once a day for several days, until a friend told us that some people can't tolerate "inulin" contained in Culturelle. We have discontinued taking this product, but the bloating still remains. Hope it will subside soon. Please be warned.
Best I have used.

I have had candida for years. I think I have used every probiotic on the market. From 10 billion CFU to 450 billion CFU (yes 450 billion). I do not know what makes one probiotic work better than another. They all say they are better than an other due to certain reasons. But this actually works. I started taking 3 a day, and then one with every meal, but now I only need one a day. And one a day is amazingly, all I need.
Great Product

I've used this product for over 4 years and it really seems to settle the digestive system down. I started using it after my first baby when I developed fruit allergies - my face would swell when I would eat fruit - within 6 mos. I could eat fruit again. This wasn't the only thing I did to heal my gut, but I believe it played a huge role.

This is THE single most important supplement that I've ever taken, and it is worth every penny. I'm a 37 year old woman who was born with unexplained splenomegally (enlargement of the spleen; mine was the size of a football). When I was 6 years old, the spleen was surgically removed and I was then prescribed 500mg of penicillin DAILY, INDEFINITELY (GASP). I continued on this antibiotic regimen for 14 years until the age of 20, when I decided to go against my doctor's advice and take my health back (and stop creating antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria). There was a LOT of damage to be un-done. Not only was I missing a spleen, but most of the good bacteria in my body (which actually contributes to about 70% of one's immunity) was destroyed by the antibiotics. Understandably, I was perpetually sick with colds, bronchitis, and other ailments through my mid-twenties - even after I stopped the penicillin. It wasn't until I started taking Culturelle about 10 years ago that my health started to turn around (I also started receiving acupuncture, and I believe both of these were key). I now RARELY get sick! I've also tried other brands of probiotics, including Dr. Ohhira, but Culturelle works better for me. Also, these work great as a treatment for vaginal yeast infections - just use as a vaginal suppository 1-2 times a day until symptoms are relieved (be sure to also use a pantyliner).
