Hello-
I started a probiotic today and have terrible bloating and gas. I know this can be typical when starting a probiotic but this is pretty bad. I noticed the probiotic has FOS in it. Is this something I should be concerned with or is it in a trace amount and thus ok. The probiotic is Now Foods Probiotic 10.

Andrew,
I opened your link and did not see anything on FOS.
What do you mean by this?
Thanks!

Originally diagnosed with IBS-C in Spring, 2008. During spring to fall of 2008, had at least 10 acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbs. IBS went into remission. IBS returned in late July 2013 after taking 2 oral contrasts for a CT scan for cancer follow up. Had more acupuncture with different practitioner in summer 2014, but received little benefit.

I am SORRY! I do see the FOS now. I don't think this should bother you?

At best probiotics are only moderately effective. At the moment there is insufficient clinical evidence to support their use
