Probiotics may help with bloating, they should not cause weight loss otherwise. Would suggest caution in self treating and making sure your primary care doc and/ or kidney doc are aware of your issues and supplements you are using.

Pro-biotics will not help with your kidney issue or any health matter It is imperative that you consult a kidney specialist, nephrologist for an evaluation and treatment to prevent further deterioration of your kidney function.
