Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by liya79: Does taking probiotics affect the menstrual cycle?
I have been taking probiotics once a day for the past two months and have noticed that my cycle is much shorter than it used to be. Probiotics have helped with my digestion / bloating. However is this is a side effect of taking them?

probiotics is for everyone!! you should always be on them if you are on antibiotics too. im sure they are good for menstrual cycle too : ) but you dont have to take them everyday…maybe like 1-3x per week and eveyday if your sick or think youre going to be getting sick. i hope that helps!

I’ve been on Culturelle (a probiotic) for about a month and a half now. It makes me feel amazing, and everyone arround me notices that I seem to be acting alot better, because I’m not as sick all the time.
But I’m about (not positive to the day) 2 or 3 weeks late for my period. I’m going to be 17 this year, and I understand that my body could still be changing and developing a regular cycle.
I never once thought about Culturelle making any difference in THAT department until I sat down to think about any changes I’ve made in my diet, medicine, etc.
If it helps, I’m not pregnant.
