But which ones? I tried several brands when I last has antibiotics - I’m sure the probiotics made it worse.

Which are the good probiotics? The amount of gas produced is a function of the flora in your gut. Which one produces less, and which more?

I have been taking probiotics for several years and never had problems with gas. I do take super digestive enzymes after every meal. It was explained to me that as we grow older, our own digestive enzymes diminish. I only use the NOW brand, I trust them.
If you go to Swanson web site, they will cost less (sometimes a lot less) than if you buy at the Health Food Stores.

The only one I see mentioned is B. infantis 35624.

"Bifantis is the trademarked name for the patented probiotic strain Bifidobacterium infantis 35624."

Maybe the results were the effects of your body purging some “issues” from itself. Whenever I suspect that candida is creeping up on me again I double up on my doses and the same thing occurs. After my system is back in balance I no longer have those problems.

Get yourself some kefir

Yogurt works to but the kefir is better

Sauerkraut helped me - I like Bubbies. Kimchee might work too but I hear it’s hard to eat unless you’re used to it. I also drink kombucha.
