Probiotics and constipation

[BLM]

Hey friends, was wondering if anyone has experienced constipation while taking probiotics? I just started taking them a week ago...and though Im enjoying less bathroom trips, I seem to be backed up. Its causing some problems with the lil fissures Ive been trying to get rid of....not sure if its the disease playin with me again...or an effect of the new probiotics....
Thanks~

EJ takes them Bev and we haven't noticed any change in bm's. Since they are voluntary, why not try staying off them a few days to see if things change.

Funny that you mention that, I'm on VSL and even though I don't get constipation, I am going to the loo less.

Not sure of the science behind why, but its a nice effect for me!

Yes I did notice some constipation, so I got off the pill and just started eating Activia (Yogurt) every morning and it solved the problem. Activia is infused with Bifidus Regularis, an active probiotic culture. I don't really care for yogurt but this stuff tastes awesome (I sound like a commercial) lol

I had started taking Align to help with the diarrhea and constipation. The constipation got worse on the Align and it's now my primary symptom. I take acidophilus now to help with the constipation. It keeps things moving, but it's still pretty painful and uncomfortable.
