Yes. I take align and I am regular. I love my probiotic!

There are other good reasons to take Probiotics as well. For one, some studies have shown that people with robust gut flora are better at maintaining a healthy weight.

Hello

My Doctor is starting me on it as soon as I am discharged from the hospital.

What is probiotics? I haven't went to bathroom like that in five days.

I'd like to know a good brand. Our health food here says in order for them to work, they need to be refrigerated. I see them in all the stores not in the refrigerator. I am confused!

Yes, a probiotic is actually recommended as one of the daily supplements that should be taken after the VSG. It does help regulate your movements as well as promote healthy intestional bacteria. The brand that I have had great success with is the Bariatric Advantage which can be ordered online. It has been said that patients that take probiotics after surgery loose more weight. Hope this helps!

Probiotics are one piece of the pie for keeping things regular. Also important is adequate Fiber and fluids. My friend who is a registered dietitian recommended align for me. She said many studies done on the use of probiotics use align and she felt confident about recommending that brand. Of course your mileage may vary, but it's one to try.
