Hi Doc and all--hope all's well.

Was wondering if LGS can mess up the balance of intestinal flora.

Also, if it does, can taking probiotics "palliate" the effects (indigestion, loose stools, etc.). (I have recently learned from my ND that all supplements can work in two ways. The first, desirable way can be to fix a deficiency. The second, far less desirable is to provide a "pharmacological intervention", i.e. palliate symptoms.)

Finally, if the probiotics DOES palliate the problems (indigestion, etc., even on close to PWFD), does that mean that it indeed IS LGS?

Sorry for the complicated form this question has taken.

Regards,
Jack
