The effect of probiotics would depend on what type of ostomy you have.
With a colostomy you still have your large bowel so probiotics may be helpful.
With an ileostomy, the large bowel is removed, so there would be no point in taking them at all.

I’ve only been on this site a little bit, I hardly know how to navigate it, LOL! I just want to say that everyone seems so kind and supportive to each of the members and it’s not only helpful, it makes me happy that there really are so many nice people in this world that can sometimes feel so bleak and cold. I didn’t even know about this site until I found it by accident. I think the hospital staff should bring it to their patients’ attention. Thanks to all, even if you’re just listening!

Thank you for that info, my doctor prescribed one when I was given an antibiotic and I didn`t think it would work !!!
