I started taking the brain probiotics a few weeks ago. They make me constipated. I was pretty regular before starting them. Any suggestions?  Thanks!

Hmm. I haven’t heard that before. Hold it for a few days and then restart to see if the problem recurs. You can increase water and fiber to see if that helps.

This can be a normal reaction as your gut biome adjusts to new bacteria and rebalances. You might try starting with the minimal dose or even less than minimal and slowly increase the dose over a few weeks. Once acclimated any of those undesirable effects should go away.
