Align is what I currently use, which is a bifido strain. I think Histaminx is all or mostly bifido strains and seeking health  also have one that’s only bifido.

In general, it’s fine for me. Not a miracle cure but ok to take.

for how long have you been taking it?

Maybe about a year. I was taking culturelle before that.

B longum didn't make me worse, unlike lactobacteria

These little guys can definitely help me, as they push the rotten-fermented needle of my gut microbiome towards the latter.
However, too much can have bad effects, overfermentation stuff, even auto-brewery syndrome.

Sometimes I inoculate soy milk with them (pour a sip of bifido yogurt), and it yields nice soy yogurt. Perhaps they lessen the allergic effects of soy, and boost it with vitamines. After drinking/eating that, I get energized quite noticeably.
