What Causes Frequent Urination While On Probiotics?

I have been recently taking probiotics for about a month to two months. Today I experienced a continual need to defecate way more than usual and on emote than one occasion after I was finished I had to return to the toilet to releave a practically full bladder. Also, I have an occasional phlegm like discharge. When I was in my 20 s I was diagnosed with IBS, but worked through it by thr end of my 20 s. I am now 47...has it returned?

Hello
Welcome here.
Probiotics usually donot cause the symptoms which you are facing. I think your symptoms are most probably due to return of IBS. Please consult your physician asap. Continue with your probiotics. Get your blood sugar and blood pressure tested also.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
