Regarding probiotics
I took vls freeze probiotics and my gut was okay but today I took one normal 50 billion cfu, 20 strains carbamide forte probiotics and my stomach is a little upset? What does it mean? Like gas in stomach, want to visit washroom. Should I hydrate myself more? What's the best probiotics to use to balance gut flora.

Probiotics can cause stomach upset, especially when you change the brand of higher strength.It may take a few days to settle.There is nothing like best probiotic,each vary with their specificity and suitability

Mild gas and loose stools after starting a high-dose probiotic (50 billion CFU) is very common — it's the gut adjusting to the new strains. It usually settles in 2–3 days. VSL#3 is a well-studied probiotic; switching to a lesser-known brand with 20 strains can sometimes cause this reaction.
Next Steps
Stay hydrated, continue for 3–4 more days to see if it settles. If discomfort continues, go back to VSL or try a lower CFU count to begin with. Homemade curd daily is also a good natural option. Consult me on Practo if symptoms worsen.
