I am currently breastfeeding a 2 months old baby. i wanted to add a probiotic supplement because i am having gut issues (occasional bloating and very very smelly farts, sulphuric farts). is it safe while breastfeeding?

Yes: Probiotics are not like drugs that might go into the milk. They stay in your gut or are digested like any other food.
