For long-standing upset stomach, a multi-strain probiotic can help restore gut flora and improve digestion. Commonly used options include Bifilac / Vizylac / VSL-type probiotics containing Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains. These are generally safe and helpful for bloating, loose stools, or indigestion.
Next Steps
Start a probiotic once daily after food for 5–7 days
• Observe symptom improvement (bloating, stool consistency, pain)
• Maintain a light, balanced diet and adequate hydration
• If symptoms persist beyond 1–2 weeks, consult a physician/gastroenterologist for further evaluation
Health Tips
Avoid junk, very spicy, or oily food during treatment
• Probiotics are supportive, not a substitute for proper diagnosis
• Long-term or worsening symptoms need medical evaluation (to rule out IBS, infection, acidity, etc.)
