This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

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.
