Probiotic question
Hi, I have RA and take Methotrexate. I recently had 2 x antibiotics for another problem and have suffered bloating and gas ever since. Some sites say I can have daily probiotics and some sites say not because I am immunocrompomised? any help with this appreciated
Thanks for reaching out. This is a question for your doctor. We cannot give medical advice online, for your safety. Each person's medical history is different and your doctor can best advise you on what the best course of action is for dealing with this bloating and gas. In addition to speaking with your doctor about whether probiotics are safe for you, this article on Probiotics and RA may be helpful: https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/probiotics-digestive-system.

Hi
. As said, it is important to check with your doctor before adding anything to a treatment regimen. I can tell you that my wife, Kelly Mack (a contributor here), does take a daily probiotic. Of course, every case is different. She wrote this article on understanding gut health with RA: https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/connecting-gut-health-with. Hoping you get some answers and relief soon. Best, Richard (RheumatoidArthritis.net Team)
