<p>What Probiotic is good for constipation. Florastor is a good one for people with diarrhea. But the main ingredients in Florastor is for people with diarrhea compared to constipation. Florastor's main ingredient is Saccharomyes &amp; Boulardi lyo. Aren't there other probiotics with other ingredients that are best for constipation. I hear there is, but don't know any brands and what the other beneficial ingredients are. Thank you</p>

<p>Just focus on a good quality probiotic. If you have gut issues you want to get your gut flora healthy. Just make sure that intestine bacteria like acidophilus is in it.</p> <p>Although, the studies are not clear as to whether probiotics can actually help with constipation.</p> <p>If you are really bad, a stool softener might help, although I wouldn't go that route unless it's been a few days.</p> <p>The best thing to do for constipation is increase fluid intake, increase fat intake, reduce systematic inflammation.</p> <p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Although it's not the most potent for getting quality probiotics, I've found that drinking a low-sugar, non-sugar Kombucha (Kevita for instance) and eating sauerkraut does the trick. Both provide a lot of fluids along with the probiotics.</p>

<p>Make some kraut and call it a day.....seriously its just salt and cabbage left to ferment, but if your stopped up there is NO WAY better. Eat more and more of it till stuff is running smooth.</p> <p>24 hr yogurt isn't a bad idea either.</p> <p>Screw the probiotic pills. They are garbage. Eat fermented foods for real improvement.</p>

<p>S. Boulardii is for when you have diarrhea, so if you have constipation, I would definitely recommend staying away from S. Boulardii. </p>

<p>If you're hypothyroid you may find that the probiotics via fermented veggies actually cause you constipation rather than relieve it as I find to be the unfortunate case. I believe it's from the fact that the goitrogen effects from cruciferous raw vegetables (i.e., cabbage) is actually enhanced when fermented rather than diminished. YMMV.</p> <p>My go-to constipation reliever is magnesium. </p>

<p>Just wanted to add something - sometimes probiotics (if they are too strong) can cause constipation. I did not know it before, it is a symptom of a die-off reaction. </p> <p>I have not tried water kefir yet (it is next on my list) but raw beets always help me. </p>

<p><a href="http://Symprove.com" rel="nofollow">Symprove</a> is a great probiotic for constipation. </p> <p>It's non-dairy, so the bacateria don't get killed off in the stomach acids because it doesn't trigger digestion. It's also not-freeze-dried so the bacteria get to work straight away, not half-way through your gut.</p> <p>You can get it from symprove.com and nutricentre.com</p>

<p>Hi there! Great question! I hope this might help. I tried this PHP maxam product. It helps to replenish and restore proper immune and gut bacterial functionality beyond the standard probiotic formula. </p>
