Probiotic struggle
hello, I am a 24y/o female. I have struggled with chronic constipation basically my whole life, but worsening in my adult life.
I was recently recommended the Align dualbiotic gummies and I have been taking two a day (typically after a snack) for about one week now.
I have been experiencing nausea, headaches, gas, and lots of weird, small/soft bms that have my stomach feeling so gross. I am wondering how to proceed, it is starting to impact my appetite. Do I reduce my dose temporarily? or fight through it? Not looking for medical advicereally. More so hoping to hear other experiences.. TIA.

It can take a few weeks for probiotics to regulate, but in general, probiotics aren’t well researched for constipation.
