Probiotic recommendations?

Question

Recently I’ve been working with my doctor on diagnosing IBS through elimination. But in the meantime, she’s recommended that I get on a probiotic and said she didn’t have a preference for brand or anything. 
I have a super sensitive stomach so starting any new supplements or medication is a bit nerve wracking. Anyone have any personal recommendations? Thanks!

Answer

I take Acidophilus Probiotics. It’s just a bottle of tabs that you keep in the fridge and take daily. It helps give you those healthy gut bacteria and it also keeps your genitourinary tract regular. I only take about 2 billion cultures but they can go all the way up to 10 or even more sometimes. Just make sure to keep them in the fridge or you could end up killing all the microorganisms (or my little guy buddies as I call them lol) I worked a 12 hour shift at the clinic while running on about 4.5 hours of sleep and was so tired by the time I took them, I forgot to put my probiotics back in the fridge and killed my little buddies 😭 I was sad lol. I would also recommend taking them at night since they can tend to make you a little gassy since they’re working with your gut flora 😊

Answer

Probiotics didn’t do anything for my ibs I tried a few different brands gummies/pills and it didn’t do anything. My doctor told me to take Metamucil which definitely helps a ton as long as I have it everyday. So it’s honestly trial and error. But give whatever you get a week or two to see if it’s helping. Metamucil I notice it helping within a few days but I think probiotics say it can take up to 2 weeks to help your body sort out from it.

Answer

Emergen-C makes a probiotic that is a drink mix just like their Vitamin C packets! It works well for me and also it tastes good. 😋 Plus you get a little vitamin boost with it.
