JMarshall 352 Posted September 13, 2012 So i been wondering about taking Probiotics to help with digestion and to become more normal. Has anyone tried any or have any suggestions ? Whats the word on Probiotics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joisey01 87 Posted September 13, 2012 I have irritable bowel syndrome. Probiotics is a large part of my daily regimen. I swear by them. I talked to my surgeon and he is very on board with it. I am on a regimen of Fiber as well. It is important for me to be diligent in order for me to be 'regular' and minimize my IBS flare-ups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mygarcia02 1 Posted September 13, 2012 My doctor also suggested probiotics because I would get a lot of gas... they really help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there a certain brand that you would recommend ? are they all pretty much the same ? 1 Joisey01 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joisey01 87 Posted September 13, 2012 I have IBS too but have noticed w weight loss I have not had a severe episode requiring meds. I have not been sleeved yet but was wondering if u had any improvements since the sleeve? I haven't been sleeved as of yet. I go next Thursday. I am hoping that by changing my entire way of eating will help with the IBS. My intestinal tract has been my Achilles heal my whole life. All of my stress is connected to my intestines! 1 Nacol reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joisey01 87 Posted September 13, 2012 Is there a certain brand that you would recommend ? are they all pretty much the same ? I use Schiff brand Digestive Advantage Intense Bowel Support. I also use Fiber capsules in addition. I have found that the combination of both help keep my flare-ups to a minimum. It's been a long time since I've had problems, but then I haven't missed a day, either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
