Hi,
I am starting a probiotic today (Primal Defense) after batting yeast infections and at the recommendation of my doctor. I will be taking one a day for a while, but the bottle says best if taken on an empty stomach. The help for ibs website however says to take probiotics with food. Should I take it with food then to save my stomach any upset? After all, the bottle only says "best" not necessary to take on an empty stomach. Also, I am taking Acacia right now. I had worked up to 1.5 teaspoons two times a day before I got sick due antibiotic associated diarrhea and stress. I felt pretty stable, but it couldn't hurt to increase the amount slowly still, right? I'm IBS-A by the way. Is increasing by 1 tsp too much at one time? Also, I've been taking my Acacia in the morning (first thing) and at night before bed. I do this because the morning are the worst for me and my IBS symptoms. Is this okay? Should I add more Acacia to these doses or since I don't eat anything between those doses (I'm only sleeping, should I add a third dose in the middle of the day or before dinner?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I don't know what I would do without everyone's help and support!
Thank you 
Amber
