I have been taking a probiotic for about 3 weeks now and have had success with it eliminating the awful gassy stomach causing belching and gas.

I am traveling tho... and they told me it has to be refrigerated..

Has anyone ideas of something I can take as a substitute?

There are some probiotics that do not need refrigeration.

Actually, I don't know of probiotics that do need refrigeration. I used to take one that came in individual packets. I also used to give probiotics that were in individual packets for my dog. So, check around at the drug stores and health food stores.

Hi. I have been taking Acidophilus for a couple of weeks and have good results with it. It does not have to be refridgerated. It is a capsule.

If you don't want to change probiotics, you can always buy one of those small traveling coolers and put an ice pack in it.

The more expensive brands of probiotics do say to refrigerate. I have used both and they both seemed to help my immune system.

I just purchased some Florjen yesterday at the pharmacy. They keep it refrigerated behind the pharmacy counter at CVS.

Question, can probiotics help extreme gas? It's not me. It's my b/f. I've never met anyone with such a problem. Maybe he could get some good results from them?

Have a good day.
