A member asked:

Constipated after finishing antibiotics. will azo cranberry (with bacillus coagulans) help, or do i need a different type of probiotic for intestines?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Try fiber: You may take fiber rich foods like prunes. or use fiber laxative like Metamucil. You may take probiotics but those are not likely to help constipation.
