Unless I was given them as a kid (as might be the case after surgery such as wisdom teeth removed, where antibiotics might have been given), I've never taken them. I've never from memory taken antibiotics either, even though some stupid doctors prescribed when completely unrelated to previous issues I've had that didn't involve infections or gut health. Did you take commercial probiotics when you went vegan? I didn't bother - although it took a little while for my system to change over I'm not sure probiotics would have made any positive difference. Type of food I think is what matters most. Saying that, some people may benefit from them especially if they have gone through long bouts of anti-biotics that can eradicate some harder to replace gut flora. I also understand they can turn (change) depending on type of food intake. So a heavy meat eater might take them thinking they're doing themselves a favor without realizing that not feeding them what they need (fiber, resistant starch from whole foods) and animal flesh and fat instead either starves them or causes them to change in nature.
