Zara, do you always have the bloating?...even before teh probiotics? I get "major" bloating if I eat foods with yeast or yeast extract. That's the first telltale sign for me that yeast was "hidden" somewhere in something I ate, even when I thought I was being careful.Have you thought of eliminating yeast foods for a whileeto see if you notice a difference? Just a thought...........

I'm not positive about that product in particular, but I know that other Digestive Advantage products marketed towards IBS actually have artificial sweeteners in them, which can cause a lot of problems, including D, gas, bloating, etc. So there's a very good chance it was something extra they put in the probiotic. Just my two cents

That could very well be the problem. I totally stopped taking it, and I'm feeling much better. Not the urgent D, and much less gas. I'm just trying to eat better and feel that I just have to live with it the best I can. When I think back, I've had this problem for many many years...I'm 59, and I can remember extreme stomach aches in grade school. That's where it all began. Oh well.

Kim, yes, I was bloated even before the probiotics but now as much. And not as gassy. I actually haven't been eating any foods containing wheat for the past 2 weeks and no improvement  . Thanks though!

I was just told by my doc. today to start probiotics. Well I bought BioBeads... anyone heard of them? They have acidophilus and all that other stuff. They do not contain artificial colors or flavors, no wheat, no dairy, no gluten, no eggs, no yeast, no added sugar or preservatives and no milk. They look like little tiny beads and they have an outer shell like thing that is said to protect it until it gets to where it needs to be in your digestive system. They also dont need to be refridgerated.
I keep hearing a lot of talk about probiotics causing D. Well I have IBS-D so I am wondering also if maybe I shouldnt take probiotics??
