    Default Appetite loss?

    Ok, so I started taking a probiotic supplement to help my digestion, etc. Along with acidophilus it also has a bunch of other healthy probiotics. It seems to be helping with what it is supposed to. One thing though...since i started taking it, my appetite has gone way down. Where i used to be able to eat most of the day and not feel full. I now feel full after very little portions (like 1/2 a burger with nothing on it), and i just dont feel hungry in general.

    Has anyone else experienced this with probiotics?

    What else do they do besides help with digestion? What brand do you take?
    I have the worst bloated stomach all the time. I think its because I eat a lot of white flour products and candy. Im trying to cut that out though.

    I'd have to check the brand, but they help with bloating, moving stuff through your system properly, and the right kinds can even help keep your vag healthier.

    these things are freaking miracle pills. i swear i've lost weight since taking them, my stomach is flat, my hipbones show for the first time in months... and i'm never hungry. If i skip a couple days my appetite comes back, but it's a pretty long lasting appetite suppressant.

    feel free to point and laugh and call me stupid, but ...what exactly is this? I mean, what form does it come in: is it a pill, or a food product, or something you put ON food (like fiber or nutritional yeast or something)?

    probiotics are good bacteria that are naturally found in your digestive tract. sometimes if you're not eating correctly, just gotten over an illness, have gastrointestinal problems/disorders or have been taking antibiotics, the good bacteria in your body get all thrown off and can cause lots of problems- yeast, bloating, fatigue, slow digestion, ibs... etc.

    probiotics replenish the good bacteria and help keep bad bacteria out.

    the kind i have is 7 different types of good bacteria, with 4 billion live bacteria per dose. It works extremely well, i got it at the health food store for 12 dollars or so. I got them because I was on antibiotics for a week and my stomach was really messed up, but now i 'm still taking them and i feel great.

    The Align is a capsule you take once daily.

    I know they are capsules, but arent they in the refridgerated section?
    I really want to try them, I have the worst stomach problems.

    I don't have to keep my mine refridgerated. I got mine at Target. My doctor said they also had it at Walgreens. It's like 30 dollars for a box. My pharmacist found mine for me at Target, I couldn't find it.

    How long do they take to kick in? We got a bottle at Albertsons grocery store.
    I took two with breakfast and did not notice anything. I know things dont magically work all of a sudden,just wondering.

    I noticed a difference within a couple of days. I ran out yesterday and today has been a flatulence living hell, glad I didn't have anything going on but a therapist appointment this morning.

    ^haha lol...I can relate! do you eat a lot of white flour products, pasta and breads and stuff? I think that is what does it for me, and refined sugars mixed in.
    If I cut all that out, and dairy out, the gas leaves. I heard mixing carbs and proteins creates gas.
    That is pretty hard to avoid though.
