Probiotics for IBS

2019-05-20 07:55:11
I had undergone rifaximin antibiotic treatment for my ibs-c for 2 weeks. Stomach pain and bloating has gone, food intake has increased but stools are loose even after stopping medication for 4-5 days. I have been taking probiotic yogurt (rich in bifidobacterium) since 4-5 days. What probiotics should I take to replenish the gut flora fast? I have heard vsl#3 brand capsules to be very effective. Expecting a quick response. Thanks, Prakhar

Probiotics are not to be taken for too long. It will stop benefitting after some time so conserve its use. Stop all animal origin foods including dairy products except curd may be taken. Take all plant based foods. Salads and Vegetables. Fruits. Stress is a important factor. Try to resolve the stress if any.
