I have poor digestion, often experience cramps, sometimes see mucus in my stools, can probiotics help me until I see my doctor?

Probiotics may help regulate your gut flora, but their effectiveness varies from person to person. It is not a guaranteed solution and some people may experience side effects like diarrhea. Keeping a food and symptom journal for the next few weeks could help identify possible triggers for your digestive issues. If no cause is found, it's best to consult a doctor for a more thorough evaluation.
