Supplementing probiotics can be useful during or after digestive distress, but it is LITERALLY so much more effective (and cheaper) to invest your time, effort, and money in consuming plenty of fiber-rich whole-plant-foods. Beans, whole grains, sweet potatoes, vegetables, fruits, etc are the favorite foods of our favorite microbes. Avoid processed foods, high-protein and fat foods (those are usually the processed ones...), and animal foods for optimal digestive health.
Great books on Gut Health:
GutBliss: amzn.to/2u2DOM3
The Microbiome Solution: amzn.to/2h4F3Ga
(ALSO, check out Dr. Robynne's interview on the Rich Roll Podcast: goo.gl/w7jXiA)
The Good Gut: amzn.to/2vKTimA
Dr. McDougall’s Digestive Tune Up: amzn.to/2Ip5mQ9
Great videos by nutritionfacts.org:
nutritionfacts.org/video/whats-your-gut-microbiome-enterotype
nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-change-your-enterotype
nutritionfacts.org/video/gut-dysbiosis-starving-microbial-self
nutritionfacts.org/video/gut-microbiome-strike-it-rich-with-whole-grains
nutritionfacts.org/video/getting-starch-to-take-the-path-of-most-resistance
nutritionfacts.org/video/bowel-wars-hydrogen-sulfide-vs-butyrate
The probiotics I buy when necessary:
Renew Life 7 day Sachet program: amzn.to/2GsP0JE
Garden of Life: amzn.to/2H5VdIF
VSL#3 (medical strength, only available from amazon/your doctor and only necessary for someone in severe digestive distress, such as UC). They come in high dose sachets: amzn.to/2Ej5jCZ
And lower dose capsules: amzn.to/2EgCtDb
The only Probiotic labeled ‘vegan’ that I think is ACTUALLY vegan (all other probiotic strains are grown ON dairy, but all traces of dairy are removed during processing): amzn.to/2GM7yDV

Your best health and most content self is achievable through a healthy lifestyle, centered around abundant whole plant foods and genuine self-care. It’s achievable if you gather the common-sense information, cut the bullshit, and commit to your wellbeing as a real priority.
I also encourage us all to acknowledge our inherent responsibility to protect our environment (currently being decimated by animal agriculture: the leading cause of green house gas emissions) and speak up for those who can’t speak for themselves: the billions of sentient beings who are tortured and slaughtered every year. OUR CHOICES MATTER.
