FAQs Answered by Pharmacists: Probiotics for Bloating & Digestive Relief

How do probiotics help with bloating?

Probiotics support your gut by helping to break down food more efficiently and balance bacteria in the digestive system. This can reduce gas, stomach swelling, and uncomfortable bloating, especially after meals or during digestive upsets.

What makes “One Week Flat” different from other probiotics?

This probiotic is designed as a short-term course to be taken for 7 consecutive days. It uses carefully chosen strains that survive stomach acid and reach the gut alive, especially helpful when you need fast support for bloating or after a change in diet or routine.

Can I use this product regularly or only once a month?

While it's designed for short-term use, it’s safe to take monthly or even daily if your healthcare provider recommends it. Some people use it when bloating is worse, such as before travel, during their period, or after overindulging.

Is this probiotic safe for people with food intolerances?

Yes. It’s free from dairy, gluten, soy, and added sugars, making it suitable for people with common food sensitivities. It’s also 100% vegan and contains no artificial flavours or colours.

Do I need to refrigerate this probiotic?

No. This product is shelf-stable and does not require refrigeration, making it easy to take with you on holiday or to work. For best results, store it in a cool, dry place below 25°C.

Can children take One Week Flat?

Yes, but only children aged 4 years and older. The strains are gentle and suitable for growing digestive systems, but parents should follow the dosage instructions carefully and consult a healthcare professional if unsure.

What can I expect after completing a 7-day course?

You may notice reduced bloating, less gas, and a more comfortable stomach. Some people also report improved digestion and more regular bowel movements. It can be repeated monthly or paired with lifestyle changes like increased fibre and hydration for longer-lasting benefits.
