I seem to experience bloating and distention (no gas or constipation)no matter what I eat! It so very uncomfortable! I take Andrew Lessman's Friendly flora and Digest assure but they don't help. In fact I feel better on the days I don't take them. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm female, 67 yrs old and in relatively good health. Would like suggestions from others likewise. 🤗 TIA

I would book an appt with a gynocologist to rule out other things before trying another product.

Try apple cider vinegar for a couple weeks, it's not that bad

This is probably not the best resource for medical advice. i would refer you to a medical professional.

Just for me, if I have milk, I am instantly 6 moths pregnant. Lactaid works for me.
Perhaps a visit with a GI?

If I were you I would completely stop AL's product for at least a week and see what happens. I took some product of his--it may have been his "friendly flora" and stopped after a few days because I just felt uncomfortable. If after a week or 2 you're still having a problem, then I would see a doctor.

@Starpolisher Bless your heart! Based on your symptoms, a visit with your primary care doctor as soon as possible, is paramount for diagnosing and treating your distressing symptoms! In the short term, conferring with a pharmacist might be beneficial in suggesting over the counter medication to provide temporary relief. I hope you feel better soon.😊
Please update us once you have seen your doctor!

@Starpolisher It could be from the brand of probiotics you are taking. That happened to me when I tried previous probiotics.
Also, I noticed that drinking sparkling water can make me bloated.

When I eat wheat.

Just so I know I'm reading correctly, you were already having this issue when you started to take the Lessman items? You started to take them to see if they would alleviate your symptoms and they haven't?
I would definitely see a doctor.
