I took my first Acidophilus probiotic-5 last night. Does anyone know what I can expect form them. I know the put the good things back in your gut, but what kind of relife can i expect? I also drank my first cup of fennel tea last night. OMG Gross. I pinched my nose and drank it. I feel ok today. Some minor cramping but the side pain is not as bad. I passed a ton of gas this morning  I am wondering if that is what the side pain is trapped gas.? I am also not feeling so depressed today. Any info on the Probiotic would be wonderfull.
Thanks

It helped my bloating drastically! Also, it made my bm's more solid (sorry for being so gross). It felt as if I lost two dress sizes! I was able to go to the bathroom more than I was before. I suffered from cronic C. It helped me a lot. I hear it helps D and C. I would space out the doses. Too much Acidophulis Probotics at once can cause loose stool. Good luck! You will feel a lot better in a few weeks.

It is made by KAL. It Acidophils probotic-5. I am not a big breakfast kind of person so I will be takin two a day. Before lunch and dinner. I have only taken one so far. Last night before dinner. I better today. I still have pain but not nearly as bad. My D this morning wasn't as rough either. I am just coming off antibiotics that realy messed up my tummy so I am hoping this will help. I don't know if the probiotic is what is making me feel better or the fennel tea. I plan to drink that again tonight before bed to.  I will just hold my nose again.

It is probably both the Probotics and the fennel tea. I hope you feel better! You should be on your way in no time.

One way to make the fennel tea go down better is if you can handle honey put some in there. I do and it does make it taste a little better at least enough to get it down. Hope this helps.

I don't know what happened to the information in my other post, so here it is again.
I am IBS-A and suffer chronically (sometimes with C). The Acidophilus helped me to have bms more frequently. I take Acidophilus Plus, one in the morning along with my breakfast and one before I go to bed at night. You will find that it will help you feel better and empty out more waste.
I can't handle pure Fennel tea, so I take Yogi StomachEase Tea which contains Fennel, Peppermint and Ginger. It is wonderful! I also take Heather's Peppermint capsule 3 x per day after each meal.
Hope this helps.

I sooo need help with bloating. I used to take acidophulis for recurrent yeast infections & I don't recall it having any effect on my bloating. I was taking the cheapo kind you get at Walmart. Can I ask what brand helped you so much & how much your using?
Thanks
