Stop the probiotic. Probiotics are not of much use. Reduce you food intake.

An intestinal tract infection occasionally produces an irritable bowel type state for a period of time. Are you experiencing loose stools? To minimize gas buildup, avoid gassy foods,& beverages. Avoid dairy products or take lactose for now. Taking simethicone or GasX 1/2 hour after a meal can prevent gas build up.
