> Anyone looked further into this or tried.

The article isn't referring to a specific product, as far as I can tell.  If I do a search on "sporebiotics" I find something called "MegaSporeBiotics", which looks like it might be a bit difficult to obtain (practitioner brand).

Now, that all said, I've actually been taking something like this for the past 17 years -- I've taken "Primal Defense" by Garden of Life mostly, but also "Body Biotics" and "Royal Flora".  All of these contain bacillus subtlis, and mostly known as "Soil Based Organisms".  I would agree that they've been very helpful, yet I'm not sure that they've cured anything, as I still take them today.

I haven't tried Mega Sporebiotics, but it's certainly something I'll probably try...

Never tried, but I can say this products works amazing for me:
https://ca.iherb.com/pr/Renew-Life-Extra-Care-Ultimate-Flora-Probiotic-50-Billion-Live-Cultures-30-Vegetable-Capsules/7157

It was the only probiotic that had long-term results, others were all temporary few days effect.
I've used it to get rid of colds faster, get rid of huge upset stomach while travelling, and to digest food a lot better overall.

I am also guessing that a compromised gut will lead to ES, because my very first problem ever was problems with digestion.  I knew it would have a domino effect, but everything I tried could not repair it, until I found this probiotic and a betaine HCL, and with those two, plus avoiding EMF I brought my digestion back on track.  My digestion is better now than in the last 10-15 years!

Thanks!  The comments on that article mentions another product called "Thrive Probiotic", which might be better than Megasporebiotic, as it doesn't have that controversial strain.

Also, the comments indicate several adverse reactions to this supplement (and some good ones)

Actually, on further research, I see that I've already taken this controversial strain (b. licheniformis) for years at a time, as it was/is a strain in "Body Biotics" (formerly "Natures Biotics"), and it also used to be in "Primal Defense" (but was removed about 5 years ago).  I can't say that I noticed anything terrible about those products, and the Primal Defense actually seemed quite helpful, although I could never say for sure what ingredient(s) made it helpful.

After reading that article, I ordered a bottle of MegaSporeBiotic, also "GutPro" from Organic 3 (as that blogger seemed to think that was the best probiotic on the market, and I haven't tried that one)
