This is just my personal opinion. I try to use a common sense approach. The more things you take the worse off you become because everything you take has side effects. I do understand taking the pro biotice if you have been on anti biotic because of killing off the good bacteria as well as the bad. But if you have not then this may not be the reason for the diarrhea in the first place and taking this I have found not to be beneficial. That said if you are taking it and you are doing better then by all means keep it up.

The probiotics are good to take if you are having to take an antibiotic which depelets the body of the good bacteria but my thinking is to not take anything you do not have to because all things have side effect. The less the better. The side effect of taking calcium is constipation so this is helpful if you are trying to control diarrhea.

Calcium carbonate is what to use and you can take up to 3 a day safely and take them with food always at least 4 or 5 hours apart.

Vitamins also can upset the stomach and cause diarrhea Vitamin a c e and magnesium which is in most vitamins.

Email me if you have questions I will help if I can.
