Did any new probiotic users get the burps (etc) badly?

I've been belching (and "tooting") ALL DAY!! It's so weird for me. I mean, I burp a few times a day, but literally 50 times + today. What is up with that?  Grody to the max!

When I first started taking the Digestive Advantage-IBS, I had gas pains, cramping & some gas really bad for about 3 days. Then it suddenly got ALOT better. I feel so much better now taking it. I'm assuming of course, that Digestive Advantage is considered a probiotic. (It has the lactobacillus enzymes, and cellulose & something else I think.)

I would hang in there and see if they go away in a day or two. Sometimes it could just be a sign that you have a lot of "stuff" in there for them to take care of... If it keeps up for much longer than that and makes you very uncomfortable -- then maybe it isn't the right match for you. I think some people do say that their gas gets a little worse for a couple days - but then gets progressively better until it's just about gone if not totally. I didn't notice mine getting any worse -- or any burping. Actually I take that back -- after I had to go on antibiotics I had some burping & gas for a day or two -- so maybe that's what you're feeling. It went away though. I knew the antibiotic was going to wipe out all that good bacteria and make me start nearly over -- even though I kept taking it while I was on it.

It might be the type of probiotic. Some, like Natrol Biobeads, do not dissolve until they reach the intestines, where they are really needed. This is because of the coating on the acidophilus, etc. that's in them. They also need no refrigeration. Try a different one, and make sure it needs no refrigeration. More stable.....
Hope this helps...

another with the same properties as those Barbara just suggested is Dr William's 'Probiotic Advantage.' i order it online.
snippet from product description:
"Dr. Williams discovered an advanced encapsulation process, in Japan, that delivers these four strains of powerful bacteria right where they're needed. Each "beadlet" of Probiotic Advantage contains one billion beneficial bacteria that go to work in your intestines and colon to:"

cost me $25 for a bottle of 60, has to be refrigerated, has 5 strains:
Lacto Acidop.(l.Rhamnosus)
Bifidobact.brev.
lacto.acidoph.
Enteroccus Faecium.
Any thoughts?
The health food store lady said it was the best one, most results, for the least price. I didn't want to lay down a fortune on a pill I didn't know would work.
Thanks for all your posts-I'll stick with it till the end of the bottle.
