Kellybells thanks again for your encouraging response. What brand of probiotics do you use? I've been using 48 hour fermented homemade yogurt and natto
I still can't tolerate yogurt so you might try dropping it for awhile if you don't feel better soon. I couldn't tolerate any dairy in the first few months, even the hardest of cheeses (which are very low lactose)
Natto is a bit trickier....it's high in starch because of the beans but the bacteria, b.subtilis is likely very beneficial to the gut. I tried eating small amounts every day for a few weeks last summer and some minor finger stiffness. It was fairly mild and bearable but if you're trying to get to a zero pain baseline you might need to drop it for awhile too and stick to probiotic pills,
