Could be: Probiotics can certainly help many with these issues. You should also try to identify which, if any, foods are bothering you. Avoid artificial sweeteners as these always make symptoms worse.

Maybe/not: All of us have bacteria in our gut that may or may not be in a harmonic balance. These include many that could cause problems, but happily they stay in the gut. Probiotics are "happy" germs that are reflective of a harmonic gut. Whether or not you could benefit from them is unknown. Use of oral antibiotics can kill off good germs in the gut. Many use probiotics when on these meds.
