Anyone else taking these probiotics?

I did a week of the 200 billion Super Critical Care packets, and now I'm back to the 80 billion Critical Colon. (I love that name.) Both seem to make me gassy in the morning (I take before bed) but I don't want to cut back if that's a side effect of good stuff happening.

I used to take these but stopped after several months because of the cost and I didn't notice any good (or bad) effects. I think I took the 50 bil one.

I am not... they make my stomach all gurgly the next day. I've thought of trying a compromise and using one for an hour in the morning, when my husband gets up an hour before me, but with the morning gas I don't think I could hold it.

Right now I enjoy the empty bed and try not to scare the cats as I let it out.

I need to update the sig. I had achieved what I was on the verge of calling remission (just a few more normal days to confirm it) with the probiotics and regular meds alone. Then I had a laproscopy with bowel prep that threw me all off again... I'm trying to start over and see if I can replicate it.

Don't remember the gas from last time but maybe it went away.

I wastaking the 200 billion for a week and now 80 billion colon care, and the 10 billion of Sacro B immune defense. I don't really notice too much of a difference but I take them just in case. It can't hurt.
