@eparnold0219 I’ve had bowel issues due to use of antacid and acid reducers with prednisone. As I weaned off prednisone and off the reducers I had horrible bowel issues. I had heard the same over the probiotic supplements so when I tried the probiotic supplements I quit taking them. Not sure what to believe about it. Still on Kevzara.
Have you tried kefir or plain yogurt or other probiotic foods? I also have IBS but have been told it’s not anything that is diagnosed with a colonoscopy, just symptoms.
Best wishes in dealing with all of this!

Kefir in the grocery store is a far cry from the kefir you can make at home with the grains. I was told by a dietician that I should not expect the same benefits with store bought. That was more than a few years ago so things might have changed.
