A member asked:
Can probiotics help reduce excess gas, bloating, constipation, and/or diarrhea? if so, how? if not, what else should i look into? i've struggling with digestive issues for years?

Probiotics are just seed colonies of germs that are known to "play nice" in the gut by producing no illness or problems. Sometimes they can become well established in the gut & crowd out "bad actor germs" that interfere with healthy digestion. Whether or not they will help in your case will be something you learn by trying. They do help many people.
