Effects of Probiotics on Ostomies

I have been reading about the benefits of taking probiotics but wonder what effect it would have on a person with an ileostomy pouch. Since May of 2008, I developed very serious acid reflux, losing 25 pounds in three months. I take 40mg of omeprazole every morning, but wonder if a probiotic would be more effective. I wouldn't want to cause more problems. Also, I have read that people taking probiotics have had relief from chronic yeast infections, something that my daughter has suffered with for years. Any input would be appreciated.
