A member asked:

Regarding probiotics, which is better--yeast or bacterial? i'm taking florestor as i was/am experiencing gas/bloating. how long does it take to work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not so simple: Omeprazole interferes with digestion and can cause gas and bloating. Foods may be problem. See healing digestive disorders by andrew gaeddert for a helpful digestive clearing diet to determine cause of indigestion.
