Probioitcs and Flatuance


Sun, February 14, 2010 9:39 PM

I started FloraMore probiotics a week ago and am experiencing alot of gas.  Is this a common side effect and if so will it go away in time?

Will something like Beano or Gas-X help?

My son also had a lot of gas pain when first starting the probiotics, but it only lasted a couple weeks and now after being on the probiotics and fish oil capsules for 3 months he is feeling much better in regard to his Crohn's symptoms.

Good luck

I found that when I started using probiotics, I was a bit gassy for about 2 weeks, but it went away eventually when my body adjusted to it. It seemed to be a pretty normal adjustment reaction.

I didn't try beano (has gluten in it). Never thought of Gas-X because mine wasn't so bad that I really needed it. Might depend on the particular probiotic and how strong it is.
