Summary
Wave 70036 reported constipation, fatigue and joint pain that seemed to worsen with Lactobacillus-fermented foods and a lacto-containing probiotic. They stopped that probiotic and switched to Align (B. infantis), had a few markedly good days, then flared over a weekend, suspecting a fermented food. No overall outcome or functional level was given.
