It isn't unusual for probiotics to cause some gas and bloating for the first 1-2 weeks you take it.

It is not possible for you colon to contain nil good bacteria. The colon contains about 500 different bacteria. I don't know of any stool test that checks for all 500 bacteria. Did you GP or GI doc do the stool test? What are the names of the un-friendly bacteria that were detected?
