Can I take probiotics for bloating after eating?

Bloating after meals can be relieved by taking probiotics.

Bloating is usually caused by indigestion, excessive intestinal gas, or food intolerance, such as intestinal flora imbalance, indigestion, or insufficient gastric motility. For bloating caused by intestinal flora imbalance, symptoms include abdominal distension, discomfort, or even pain. Probiotics, which are live microorganisms beneficial to the host, can play a significant regulatory role by balancing the intestinal flora and promoting the absorption of nutrients, thus maintaining intestinal health.

Bloating might result from an imbalanced diet leading to intestinal flora disturbance, and taking probiotics appropriately under a doctor's guidance may help regulate the intestinal flora and effectively improve bloating. However, if bloating is caused by indigestion or insufficient gastric motility, using probiotics alone may not be effective, and combination therapy with other medications, such as digestive tablets or domperidone tablets, may be required.

If discomfort persists, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
