Is it good to take probiotics every day for sotamch burning?

Probiotics are not promoted for relief of upper abdominal symptoms as much as for lower intestinal ones. For relief of stomach burning,bland,no oily foods diet,avoidance of alcohol&excess caffeine, aspirin,Advil type meds,taking antacids like mylanta which also relieves bloating all help. Taking meds like pepcid or omeprazole may be needed. See your MD or a gastroenterologist if not improved.

Probiotics do not usually help with these kind of symptoms. If the burning is in the upper abdomen, I would begin by taking antacids such as Mylanta or Tums or a short trial of an OTC acid-reducing medicine. If you are no better within a couple of weeks, see your doctor. Good luck.
