Not all probiotics are created equal, and not all treat the same symptoms. First, write a list of what you want your probiotic to achieve (help to moderate general feelings of anxiety? Reduce constipation or irregularity? Help bowel movements?). Then consult a doctor on what strain will best address the symptom you’re hoping to target.
