Are you using a soluble fiber supplement that has as prebiotic effect such as Heather's tummy fiber? A prebiotic encourages the growth of colonic bacteria.

There are about 1500+ different kinds of bacteria in the gut. However, the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are the most common genuses in which there are many species. Perhaps try a probiotic that has a good mixture of 2-3 of each genus. There are some generic brands just read the label for additives such as FOS, artificial coloring, etc
