probiotics for IBS

[Fmkhan]

Based on your experience, can anyone suggest what time is best for taking Bioglan ultimate flora 20b probiotics?

Also which is highly recommended:

Bioglan ultimate flora or Alflorex original

Thanks

Alflorex worked best for me. I haven't tried the other one.

In general, it is best to take probiotics on an empty stomach within 1/2 hour of a fat containing meal. I take mine with water just before breakfast which contains ground nuts and seeds, so these will contain fat. If you have milk with breakfast, this might do too.

Thanks, I will give it a try.

How long does it take to check if certain probiotics are working

[xjrs in reply to Fmkhan]

They normally recommend at 3 month trial. Some people may get benefit before this time. 3 months would give it a good try.

I have been taking Bioglan ultimate flora for about 6 months now and find it helpful. I take it before breakfast as taking on an empty stomach is supposed to be better. I have tried many different probiotics over the years and find this have suited me best but everyone is different so I suppose it's trial and error.

Thank you. I have been using it for less than a month so will give it a month more let’s see.

Will it just work on low FODMAP diet or I will be free to eat anything if a probiotic suits me ?
