Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 29 years old woman with PCOD, and I have a body weight of 187 lbs. I plan to lose weight, and my dietician has suggested I take foods rich in probiotics. To reduce my weight rapidly, I also think of adding probiotic supplements. So, can you tell me some probiotic supplements to help reduce my weight?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I want to know what you are taking as of now so I can suggest other than that. Probiotics alone do not work; they need prebiotics also. Some prebiotics is rice kanji (cooked rice soaked in water overnight in an earthen pot), curd, or buttermilk.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
