I've been done with TC chemo for a couple of months now and my digestive system is still not doing well; bloating, pain and diarrhea. I was told to take antacids by Dr. Is this a common side effect and for how long could this go on? My go to probiotics are not helping.....

    I had terrible stomach problems after chemo as well. I started.with a variety of probiotics and prebiotics as well as fermented foods like pickles and yogurt. It took a while, but my system finally got back to normal. I think a variety of probiotics is the key.

    Best wishes for continued healing.

    Thank you so much for your answer, Trish. I guess I'll keep taking my probiotics then. I have found a really yummy kombucha recently and will look for more options in fermented foods. Hopefully it will be better soon🍀
