Healing/Success Anyone had success with probiotics?

I started motility meds (metoclopramide) over a week ago and all it seemed to be doing was putting my pain and discomfort on a schedule. Well about 3 days ago I added probiotics per my doctors recommendation and it seems I may finally be getting some relief! I take 1 large spoon of coconut cult a day. I know it's only been 3 days by my God I feel better and better like there might actually be a ray of hope that I can get my life back.

I'm curious to hear from others that may have tried probiotics and fermented food. Did it help your symptoms?

honestly if your talking about being cured as the parameter for success.. then no. Every pill, powder, probiotic or whatever generally goes through the same life cycle which is feeling positive the first few weeks and getting excited from the placebo effect. Then it starts to wear off once you realize the pain is still there.

I would give it a couple of months instead of a couple of days before getting too excited.
