Re: Probiotics - good or bad?       06/20/12 12:21 PM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA I don't believe the FODMAP diet prohibits probiotics. The original research paper by Drs Gibson and Shepherd (second link in my signature) doesn't mention probiotics. A brief article written by a dietitian (fist link in my signature) says "Added fiber such as inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides; watch items such as probiotic supplements, granola bars, and frozen desserts" The probiotics are fine but be careful of the additives such as inulin that they put into some brands. As you likely know very few probiotics have been clinically test for the efficacy in managing IBS symptoms.
