FAQ

How long should I trial a probiotic?

30 days is typical to assess benefit. Track bloat/pain and stool form.

Do I need probiotics if I eat fermented foods?

Not always. Many do well on fermented foods + fiber alone; add a targeted probiotic if symptoms persist.

Can I take probiotics with antibiotics?

Yes, separate dosing by 2–3 hours. LGG has evidence for reducing antibiotic-associated diarrhea.

Are spore-based probiotics safe?

Generally safe for most, but if immunocompromised or with central lines, consult your clinician first.

What if symptoms worsen?

Stop the product and consult a clinician. Consider different strains or food-first strategies.
