Hello, my name is Judi Sells. I'm an AML Leukemia survivor in 2012 and 2013. It's been a tough road. Now I'm suffering from diarrhea, and the doctor told me that there is no diagnosis. I need to find which probiotic works for me myself. Has anyone gone through this, and what did you do to find some comfort.

Managing digestive issues after leukemia treatment can be challenging, and many survivors find that working with their healthcare team to explore different probiotic options and dietary adjustments can help provide relief. Consider keeping a food and symptom diary to identify potential triggers, and don't hesitate to ask for a referral to a gastroenterologist who has experience with post-cancer treatment digestive concerns if additional support would be helpful.

Hi Judi! There is a product called “George’s always active Aloe” I was introduced to the product by a friend who has gut issues for a long time. I myself have issues with acid reflux/ heartburn especially with some medications. I am not offering any medical advice, nor do I have any affiliation with the company. But after I was given a bottle of it, my reflux and heartburn went away! I have read that it has been helpful to people with IBS, and other gut issues. It taste like water. I hope this helps, good luck! Richard
