Add probiotics
You should make sure you don’t have an overgrowth of bacteria in your gut before adding probiotics. Testing for overgrowth is difficult, but you can self-diagnose rather easily. If taking a small amount of probiotics, or eating a small amount of probiotic food like kimchi, causes bloat and digestive discomfort, you probably have an overgrowth. If you don’t react to probiotics, then you can slowly start adding a probiotic supplement to your diet.
