I really hope the probiotic works well for you. I started with two a day but now am just taking one each day. If I remember correctly, it seems like it took a couple of days before I noticed much. Then for two or three days, I spent a lot of time in the bathroom as it seemed to clean out my system. After that things started working normally, which is something I had never really experienced before. But if I forget to take it for a couple of days, I usually have to go through the clean-out period again to get back to normal. I seem to really need the probiotic to keep things functioning as they should. Let me know how you do with it.
