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 & 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

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. |

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. 24 hr yogurt isn't a bad idea either. Screw the probiotic pills. They are garbage. Eat fermented foods for real improvement. |

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

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. Although, the studies are not clear as to whether probiotics can actually help with constipation. If you are really bad, a stool softener might help, although I wouldn't go that route unless it's been a few days. The best thing to do for constipation is increase fluid intake, increase fat intake, reduce systematic inflammation. Good luck! |

Symprove is a great probiotic for constipation. 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. You can get it from symprove.com and nutricentre.com |

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. My go-to constipation reliever is magnesium. |

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. I have not tried water kefir yet (it is next on my list) but raw beets always help me. |

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. |
