I’ve recently been sort of diagnosed with ibs and read on another post in the comments about something to do with helping add ‘good’ gut bacteria, and wondered if anyone has tried them Yakult drinks

Thanks :)

I take yakult every day and it helps me.Especially if I'm on antibiotics,It stops me having diaorrhea which antibiotics always gave me.You've nothing to lose by taking it and everything to gain.

Every morning I get discomfort and feeling the need to go but I can’t straight away, I have little cramps in my abdomen, and then when I’ve eaten I can get some serious discomfort, big bouts of pain all across the middle, my pain is in my sides regularly, I just wanted to know if maybe trying yakult can help a little, when I need to go for a wee I get pain in my stomach and sides too but there is no infection as I’ve had tests a couple of days ago to check

Hi. I’ve never tried Yakult but I do take probiotics every morning with my breakfast and I do feel they help my bowel issues. Hope this helps.
