A member asked:
Any recommendations for a probiotic that i could try for my chronic bloating and just all around uncomfortable stomach issues?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probiotic: Consider a probiotic with multiple strains (to include Bifidobacterium infantis (B. infantis)), at least a million cultures and controlled release.

None: Probiotics have not only been not shown to be helpful, but may cause the symptoms you have. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking
