I tried the Lacto 5 from guardian and they did nothing for me,
but they were the ones of the shelf...

Go for probiotics that need refrigeration, my local Farmasi has
probiotics for sale in a refridgerator in store...
the ones you can buy on the store shelf wont be much good...

It takes a long time to build up the good bacteria in the gut, so you will have to take probiotics as well as fermented foods...

Btw fermented foods are probiotics too and they are very cheap to buy...

Good luck!

Are you sure probiotics that need refrigeration is better? Can you recommend any probiotics that need refrigeration and fermented foods? Highly appreciated.

Quality of product depends on the manufacturer
Do some research to find a good probiotic brand...

Refridgerated = fresh
Shelf = freeze dried

You best option is to eat fermented foods like
Kimchi
Fermented cabbage
And any other traditional Malaysian fermented foods
Try to eat some of these foods with every meal for best results

Also pyslluum husk powder for extra fibre to help elimination of faeces ...

Just eat fruits, green vegetables, fish, rice and drink water or tea for the next few days and see if the symptoms go away. Fresh meat and root vegetables should also be ok.

Avoid grains with high protein and fibre. No floury things, oats and pysllium husks for the time being.

My friend who is possibly gluten intolerant or celiac noticed the breathlessness stopped almost immediately with the diet but the constipation took longer to go away. Lots of money spent on doctors but they could not find out what's wrong. So we did quite a bit of searching and reading online and we realised that the symptoms were possibly related to GI because we had been on a high-fibre diet of oats and cereals. I was ok but my friend has not fully recovered yet and is still looking for a doctor/hospital to go for tests.

I remembered I finished cornflakes with hot Vico drink after a while and I wanted to poop. I saw there were cornflakes on my stool. Is this gluten intolerance?

BioLife MultiBlend hold i believe 2 strains.

They are also milk derived. The CFUs in them are about 5 billion per vege cap.
Usually, most of these strains are dead in your stomach, and there is almost near nothing that goes to your lower GI.

Probiotics is advised to be taken first thing in the morning, empty stomach. Certain people have different perspective.

I get mine off from US. Almost same price as BioLife, unfortunately freeze-dried, but GMO free. CFUs are around 30-35 Billion per veg cap, hold 7-8 strains. Also 1/2 the quantity.
Please note, always reduce the amount of intake to see if you body can take supplements.

Natural method on constipation is take 3-4 prunes (not juice). Do not overtake, and gradually ease away from it. Body should never be dependent to certain diet.

Needless to say, anxiety, stress and etc does effect how your body reacts.

Good luck to your health.

Probiotic for constipation? I thought its for diarrhea where the good bacteria is destroyed by antibiotic for example.

Personally, those sweet prunes works like charm. Can even diarrhea if ate too much. Banana works too.

Another that works for me is those cheap Nestle icecreams. Just ate whole 1L box and surely the next day can go toilet 4-5times.

you are partially correct that probiotics does not directly help constipation.
hence, I was not stating it does for TS.

Mainly answering the question on the brand BioLife MultiBlend.
I used it myself, and it does nothing for me.

eating rare banana (green) is state to be reverse of constipation, and eating ripe banana (yellow) help.
I did not find much help when I constipate sometimes eating banana.

Water is essential for me. Need to drink alot.
Okra vegetable helps.
Papaya fruits as well.
Prune helps me the most, but I do not eat them unless required.
I read is it due to the high content in potassium is the cause of your intestines motility...prune has that.

Good health to you all.

Do you have Celiac disease? If yes, STOP taking cereal, bread, peanut butter as all of these may lead to constipation. STOP taking stuffs that contain gluten especially wheat, no bread, no cake, no cereal.

Eat unlimited amounts of vegetables and small to moderate amount of fruits. Cut out all the crap carb and replace with complex carb. Remember to drink at least 3L of water too. Eat small to moderate amount of meat too (fat is good for constipation too, lubricant for intestine)

I have constipation problem too. What I did was drink warm lemon juice water/plain water in the morning (Must be warm, not cold), DO NOT sip them, GULP the whole thing continuously. This can help the water to reach your intestine effectively. Changing your drinking habit can help too. Then, eat breakfast like normal. (Again, NO cereal crap, no bread crap). Then, continue to drink some water and go to the toilet. DO NOT sit, do SQUATTING. It is effective for me.

Change your diet, drink more water, warm water in the morning and you are good to go.

Running, probiotics, lots of coffee first in the morning help. But fiber could be harmful if you have very serious stool problems.

Also overall healthy lifestyle required for prevention.
