I posted about having issues with my stomach about 2 weeks ago or so - having issues with feeling bloated and constipated for weeks. I had issues with IBS before and just generally not feeling good. I thought probiotics might help but wasn't sure. I asked here and got a lot of yes - definitely try them.

I started them immediately and I'm not exaggerating that within 24 hours my stomach was feeling better and I've been feeling so much better the last 2 weeks! Thanks for everyone *****plied and gave me the info that it was a good idea. I'm definitely continuing them.

I was wondering about that too.  I'm adding it to my list of things to buy.  What brand are you using?

Probiotic

 

This is what I'm using, but I know there are better ones out there. I didn't research a ton because I needed one ASAP. I had used this before when I had to take antibiotics. I do know that not all probiotics work on all people so I knew this one worked for me so I went with it.

Thanks!  I see that it's chewable too, which is great!

Warning about chewables:  they are fairly nasty-tasting so decide if you have a high tolerance before investing.  A good website for research is www.usprobiotics.com.  I choose to eat yogurt and drink Kefir daily.
