As everyone suggested I started taking probiotics a few weeks before my surgery, because of the huge doses of antibiotics given to me, and I'm continuing to take them because I have read of their benefits to the gi tract, I'm taking a natural brand that is acidophilus & bifidus together they have 500 million cells of lactobacillus acidophilus, bifidobacterium lactis, no artifical colors, flavors, preservatives, corn, soy yeast, wheat grain, gluten, or egg/dairy products in them. Is this a good amount and good flora? I'm still only take 1 daily, should I increase it now since it has been several weeks, how would I know if they cause a problem? I am not a person who can pass gas......(I think that is a lot of my IBS problem, not being able to expell gas naturally, and usually when I do it means I'm getting ready to blow, like ole faithful.....) so I don't know how I would know if they probiotics are causing a rucus in my tummy.
