If the probiotic medicine is helping with the stomach burning, then this is a medicine that can be taken long-term. If it is not helping, you should see a GI doctor for evaluation to determine why you have stomach burning and then to get it treated, depending on the diagnosis. Good luck to you!

Generally, we do not recommend probiotics as treatment for stomach burning. Initial treatment that you can start on your own would be OTC medications to reduce stomach acid. If these do not help after one to two weeks, talk to your primary doctor or a gastroenterologist for evaluation.
