I think I'd be willing to take a chance with the pectin, but I don't see the type of pearls you mentioned -- this is what turned up when either browsing their 3 pages of probiotics or searching on "pearls" at their site:

No acidophilus at all, and doesn't address small intestine. Their non-pearl products are not applicable either, since they have FOS and starch.
