@gingerm you might need to try different probiotics. They all seem to have different ingredients. I tried the Member's Mark from Sam's Club and it did not work for me. There was another one that was suggested to me, but I cannot pull the whole name out of my brain. Super was the first part of the name. It gave me horrible stomach cramps, but others said it worked for them better than Align. Each of us came with unique bodies.. none exactly the same and what works for one person may not work for the next. Some people do well with just the probiotic foods.. like the yogurt, kefir and such. I'm not fond of yogurt, but did eat a lot of it when I was transitioning from a feeding tube to real food. Some people take prebiotics too, but I have not investigated them to see what they do. Please, do check out your medications to make sure they are not causing or contributing to the problem.
