I take a daily probiotic yet still have uncomfortable (and smelly) gas and sometimes loose stool. what can i do? what might be causing this?

Food: It's because of food you are eating. Bacteria in the gut break down what your body doesn't digest well, and produces the foul smelling gas. Your body is telling you something. Keeping a daily food diary will help reveal which foods make it worse. Some common problems are lactose intolerance or food allergies.
