I think you can buy them on line as it seems I have seen them on a web site before. If you need the name of the health food store, I would be glad to find out.Many stores will mail you their product for a small fee.The ones in the health food store came with some warnings I remember.I agree that the probiotics might be causing problems due to the milk aspect. I think that the natren brand also has a milk free product. If not, there are plenty other probiotics that do. Some probiotics also come with digestive enzymes included in the product which might be helpful with the digestion of the lactose. Thanks to everyone who helped with the emu oil question.
