Probiotics

[TwoCreamEggs]

Last couple of weeks I have found that my appetite is greatly reduced and I am getting full after eating around half a normal portion and just not feeling hungry. I am not complaining but wondered why!? The only change I have made it started taking probiotics a few weeks ago (actually started taking them as I suffer from diverticulitis but that's another story). I wanted to ask if anyone else has found reduced appetite to be a side effect of probiotics? I take tablets from Holland and Barrett as well as actimel drink.... ? Thanks

There's a user who posted about losing weight while eating fermented foods. It was a really interesting read (worth reading the whole thread for all her posts): https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/_chat/4895442-morbidly-obese-help?page=2&reply=129232687

I would stick with the supplement rather than actimel as those aren't as beneficial.

The programme I saw, where they tested stool samples before, and then 3 months after, giving the groups various products the supplements actually came bottom of the score board. Actimel was very close to the supplements mind, but the product that most increased beneficial gut bacteria over the 3 months was Kefir.
