    I have severe acid reflux & constipation. I stopped taking probiotics for a few years bc my reflux & constipation got better. I then went on hormonal birth control & now I feel like I have trouble digesting just about anything. I went off the birth control when I found out it can mess up your digestion. (4 years later) I canโ€™t take histamine producing strains like Lactobacillus casei I end up having a reaction with my lungs swelling up & getting extremely tired & getting tingling in my face & hands. I saw in one of your videos you recommended Genestra 500 do you know if these strands are good for acid reflux as well as constipation?

    Hey Rebecca,ย  probiotics wont do much for acid reflux as that isn’t the issue with reflux. the intensive 500 is GREAT for constipation (work your way up to full dose) but both constipation and reflux are due to poor Migrating Motor Complex (MMC) and peristalsis and other issues. improving vagal motor outflow, relaxing the gut, stopping snacking, etc can help restimulate the downward motion of the gut. Also consume LOTS of soluble fiber and drink LOTS of water ๐Ÿ™‚

    implement the suggestion in the other post that i gave you and take a look at the links below for more info ๐Ÿ™‚ Let me know if you have further questions!ย Getting to the root of YOUR issue is the goal to improve your reflux and constipation.
