in Goal: Maintaining Weight
I have some major digestive issues and dr has prescribed some pretty strong probiotics after a few doses of antibiotics to kill off weird strains of ecoli, yeast and SIBO.

But I am having major water retention and bloating since taking it. Curious if anyone else has had this affect them in the same way?

    I don't see how probiotics would cause bloating, they should do the opposite. I definitely agree with upping your fluids to help with water retention.
    I notice belly bloating and less weight loss if i don't drink enough water, which has been every day lately as it's winter and cold and wet here and I'm just not thirsty.
