Probiotics

Trista87Marie

Hey. I had my gall bladder out about 2 years ago and ever since nearly everything I eat makes me run directly to the bathroom. Sometimes I can't even finish my meal and I already have to go. I know this is kinda an icky subject but I'm considering trying a probiotic and was wondering if anyone had had success with them or knew of any good ones to try. Thanks, Trista

I take probiotic daily, it does me good. I take PB 8.

Does it seem to matter what you eat, I understand without a gallbladder your body can't process fat anymore.

I take a probiotic supplement every day and know from experience that the benefits of a good probiotic are amazing. This is one case where you really want to invest in the best ones you can afford. The cheap kind can't make it past the acids in your stomach so they are worthless. Do some research before you buy.

I can't mention the brand I buy on these boards, as I am a distributor and it would be a violation of the MFP terms.

I've also had problems since having my gallbladder removed. Probiotics help me. I had tried a couple brands with no luck & then a gastroenterologist to me that Align was the only brand she would recommend, so I gave them a try. They are a little pricey, but work great for me! Good luck!

I had my gallbladder removed and Thank goodness this is something that I don't experience! I heard that some people do but I must have been a lucky one! Sorry to hear that you have this issue, wish everyone could be lucky enough not to have that happen.

it really doesn't matter what I eat. its usually worse in the morning and gets better throughout the day.

I feel better when I take one, lots lets stomach issues. I just get the one at Walgreens that was the cheapest for the highest probiotic count. Costco was having a free 1 week trial of Align probiotic, I ordered the trial but then saw the price for it was way out of my budget.
