A member asked:

Husband has awful stomach issues; loose bm's, bloating, excessive gas & eczema. he started taking probiotics and is now constipated. any idea why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Improved gut flora: The probiotics have helped rebalance your huband's intestinal bacterial flora. Congratulations! he can add more fiber now to his diet, and probably back off on the probiotics. I hope he stays well!
