A member asked:
I used to eat ~1 cup of yogurt/day but stopped recently. for the last few weeks i've had loose stools 1x/day. is this related due to probiotics?

Could be: a lot of things. Mostly the calcium and lack of fiber in yogurt is more likely. The probiotics is a bit tricky because most commercial yogurt isn't that good on quality control of the living bacteria. Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice on your particular health,

Recently, I've started to poop every 48hrs instead of my usual 24-36hrs. But now when I go, it's still loose even with longer transit time. Also added more fiber to diet/new probiotic. Could diet/probiotic explain the loose stool/longer transit time?
