After watching the video about all the great things that Bio Complete 3 can do, I was excited to give it a shot and made a multi-bottle purchase, in hopes of ridding myself of struggling on the throne.
Even though I was excited about solving my constipation problem, I proceeded with caution. Started with one pill on the first day, two pills on days 2 and 3, three pills on day 4, and finally on day five I tossed back all 4 pills. Now I’m on day 10, laying in bed awake because my stomach is making so much noise. I’m hungry and bloated. Everything I eat runs through me like a freight train and exits violently, and very loudly. The diarrhea started about 36–48 hours ago, but I just thought it was something I ate.
Today I had a banana, some pistachios, a salad with some chicken breast for lunch, and an avocado as an afternoon snack. I’ve literary had to poo 7 times today. For dinner, I decided to go super bland and just had a small bowl of oatmeal. Thinking I was in the clear after about 4–5 hours, I climbed into bed. After an hour of sleep, I was woken by a desperate urge. I almost didn't make it to the toilet. It was too loud and violent, it woke my wife.
After cleaning up I decided to start looking to see if anyone else had encountered these same struggles, and it looks like I'm not alone.
I do not recommend trying this product and will begin attempting at a refund in the morning.
Pros and Cons:

Company Response from Gundry MD
Hello Andrew. My name is Aria, I am with Gundry MD. I am very sorry to hear about your experience. However, when taking a probiotic, what you mentioned can be normal. Some customers may experience what is commonly known as die-off symptoms. Die-off symptoms occur when the bad bacteria inside of your body are killed off. The bacteria releases toxins which your body does its best to rid itself of, resulting in some unpleasant but short-lived side effects. Most customers do not experience this, but some may, depending on how much bad bacteria is inside your body. Die-off symptoms can include gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, skin breakouts, and various other stomach flu-like symptoms. For most people, this can be anywhere from 2-5 days but this may last up to two weeks. I can assure you, however, that these symptoms are very temporary and quite normal whenever a big change is made to someone's diet, lifestyle, or even their supplemental regimen. Other customers in similar situations have seen success by increasing their daily water intake and avoiding processed foods. As well as adding raw vegetables to their diet, such as asparagus, garlic, dandelion greens, chicory root, artichokes, and onions. These vegetables contain natural prebiotics, which can greatly improve the effectiveness of your supplements. While most customers enjoy our formulas, we understand that they may not be for everyone. For this reason, we stand by our 90-day money-back guarantee. If for any reason you are unhappy with our product. It may be returned for a full refund. If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. My email is aria@gundrymd.com. Have a nice day.
