Can probiotics cause D? (and other possible causes)

I searched the postings on probiotics, and it seems that folks have benefitted from taking them. I started taking them recently (Reuteri - an enteric coated capsule), and it made my D worse. I was hoping it would help! I'm also taking a digestive enzyme before dinner. Could that be the cause? My digestion is already overactive, so maybe adding an enzme is putting my colon into overdrive.

Other dietary possibilities...low acid orange juice, peanut butter (on a plain bagel), one See's chocolate (after a meal, only on Saturday), a few low-fat Ruffles potato chips with my low-fat tuna sandwich (with chopped celery and lettuce).

I don't want to believe that any of these things can be causing the problem, but I'm definitely worse on the weekends when I eat some of these meals...my tummy will be amazingly rumbly, and then I'll have a pie-movement. But lately, I have a losse BM every day. I'm grateful that it's only one or two times a day, and not several! Any help would be appreciated. I'm feeling quite low.
