You might want to wait a little bit to get used to how your pouch operates. The reason I say that is because when you first start taking probiotics they may cause cramping and bloating and other and effects and you may think your pouch is having issues when its not. I would wait to get your diet right and learn your pouch a little before you start them. This will help you also know the difference if they are helping or not.

I agree. Taking probiotics won't hurt anything, but when you are trying to figure out how what you do and/or eat affects your pouch function, you want to take things slow and make one change at a time.

But the first thing is to figure out what your basic function is, and early on, it can change on a daily basis, regardless of what you do!
