I had/have similar issues sometimes after my liver transplant and they taking my gallbladder out. I heard of Nature's Bounty Probiotic 10 elsewhere as being rally good. Don't recall if it was on this blog or where ? But I asked my Mayo care team if I could take it and they said no..... It very well could be some reason specific to me..... I don't recall the exact reason. It sounds like it works well in general. I would follow Jims very good advice and if your care team oks it then go for it. But it's possible they may not. Best of luck.
