A member asked:

Do i need to take a probiotic supplement?

Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Probiotics: If you do not have any GI or mood symptoms you do not need a probiotic. More and more research indicates that a probiotic can help GI / digestive situations and even mood. If symptomatic, please see doctor first. Peace and good health.
