This warm and hearty chicken chili is made with fresh tomatillos to give it that southwestern taste found in salsa verde. You can find fresh tomatillos in most grocery stores. They look like green tomatoes covered in a papery green husk. Unlike tomatoes, tomatillos have a more acidic and tangy taste which is perfect for this southwestern soup.

Struggling and confused about which probiotic is best? What about prebiotics? What about both? AHH!! Well, JOIN THE CLUB! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30294792 In summary, this meta-analysis has demonstrated little evidence for the use of prebiotics or synbiotics in IBS. Amongst combination probiotics, LacClean Gold and the seven-strain combination of three Bifidobacterium, three Lactobacillus and one Streptococcus were associated with significant improvements in glo...bal symptoms, and there was a trend towards an improvement in global symptom scores or abdominal pain scores with VSL#3. Among individual probiotics, Lactobacillus plantarum DSM 9843, Escherichia coli DSM17252, and Streptococcus faecium also had beneficial effects on global symptoms. We could not show any evidence of benefit for any particular combination, strain or species of probiotics for the other endpoints of interest. Overall, therefore, it remains unclear which combination, species, or strain should be preferred in the individual patient. Five trials of similar design that used rifaximin demonstrated a consistent, although modest, benefit in IBS with a NNT of 9. Both probiotics and antibiotics appeared to be safe in IBS, but the longer terms effects of repeated treatment with the latter on the microbiome, and the safety of this approach, remains unclear.
