Q I've been taking probiotics for over 6 months but the gas is still the same. Can oriental medicine treatment really make a difference?
A Probiotics help the gut environment, but they cannot change weakened bowel motility and digestive power themselves. If the gas comes from the bowels failing to empty in time, you can expect change from oriental medicine treatment that restores motility.
Detailed Answer
Probiotic preparations can help balance gut bacteria, but they do not work for all bloating. If the environment in which food lingers and ferments in the bowels does not change, gas continues to form. In some people, certain probiotics can actually cause more rumbling.
Oriental Medicine Clinic Perspective
Oriental medicine treatment focuses on raising the bowel's movement and absorption capacity itself. Once a bowel environment where gas escapes well is created, the goal is for rumbling and bloating to decrease even with the same meals.
