No: Probiotics are not supposed to help with cleaning your bowels if that's what you are asking. They r suppose to beneficially change the gut flora. They have been used for various indications ;#40; diarrhea/irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory conditions, boosting immunity, etc;#41;. If you are developing diarrhea when you use it then you probably need to discontinue it. Please consult your physician.
