Members responded warmly to a question about whether probiotics are safe for someone with MG who is waiting on a new neurologist, with the general community consensus being that probiotics are considered safe and have helped many members manage gut issues. Several members shared personal experiences using probiotic yogurts and drinks, with one noting it significantly helped reduce nausea and diarrhea caused by Mestinon. A recurring theme was the importance of finding an MG-specialist neurologist, with practical suggestions like using medical portals, video visits, and asking the community for recommendations while waiting for an appointment.

I was diagnosed with MG three years ago. I have been on 60 mg of Mestinon three times a day. It gave me diahreah, and then I learned it has lactose in it and I am lactose intolerant and it made me nauseous. I had a stomach bug and my doctor told me to get probiotics. I found it helped with the diahreah and nausea. I take a probiotic every time I take Mestinon and it has helped greatly. I have not had any adverse effect.

She is waiting for an appointment that can take a long as 6 months depending on where you live here and insurance and blah blah blah.
But thank you
