I have gas and bloating almost every day. I heard probiotics can help. Which probiotics are best for gas and bloating?

Try activated charcoal
Live, refrigerated and lactose free probiotics. You can find them in the refrigerated section of your health food stores.
One must first find the cause of the symptoms. Probiotics are generally not helpful.
This is not well studied and there is very little evidence on this topic. This is the case for probiotics in general. I am not aware of any published trials that show a probiotic being helpful for gas and bloating. There is data for peppermint oil helping with this, e.g. IBgard. Also, reducing carbohydrates in the diet often helps reduce gas and bloating. Try the low FODMAP diet.
