I have tried some prebiotic capsules called NutraFlora that contain short chain fructooligosaccharides. The manufacturer says these don't encourage the growth of bad bacteria, only the good; but I've read conflicting opinions on this. Don't know if they helped any or not. What is the name of the prebiotic your GI recommended? I'll ask about it at my appointment tomorrow.

Sorry about your baby. Hope she/he recovers rapidly. Tough duty when you don't feel well. Let's all hope for an early Spring!!!

Prebiotics can make IBS and SIBO much worse, so if you try them, try a small quantity at first.
