Do you take probiotics?

Postby Mae » 06 Jun 2015, 10:59

Do you take probiotics? And if so, what's a good brand? Will they help both constipation and diarrhea? Tbh my bm's have been pretty ideal lately so I'm wondering if I even need probiotics. Still, I keep hearing about how healthy they are.

I'm in Canada so I don't know how much help that will be (not sure where you are from).

I'm in the US but I've definitely seen Align in stores. Not sure about the other one. But thank you! :) So you take both daily or...?

Yes, I take both daily but mainly because I think I have absorption issues due to keeping my BMs so loose. The align is supposed to be really good for regulating the bowels and decreasing gas.
