So I have a fairly severe allergy to candida and also have autoimmune and need to take a daily probiotic to stay healthy. Is this something we can take post-op? If so, how do you take yours? Capsule, break the capsule, liquid form (if that exists)?

My nutritionist has had me on a pro-biotic since my pre-op diet. I was allowed to take pills at 7 days post-op, so I did have a brief period beginning the day before my surgery until 7 days post op where I didn't take it. I would suggest discussing the situation with your surgeon to find out what the best solution for you specifically would be,

I did a chewable probiotic for the first four weeks. After I was able to eat yogurt I discontinued the extra probiotic, but the chewable form was very easy to take and never gave me any problems.

I have a chewable I get from puritan pride it's cheep and taste great
