People often ask whether a probiotic capsule goes better with a meal. The honest answer is to read your label first.
The SodaTide page describes a once-daily capsule and does not give a firm rule about food in the parts reviewed. Labels vary between products, and yours is the instruction to follow.
Because SodaTide contains fiber (chicory root inulin and potato resistant starch), some people find a small meal more comfortable than an empty stomach, especially early on when gas or bloating can appear. If you are unsure, take it with food, stay consistent and note any discomfort in your log. If symptoms are strong or persistent, stop and speak to a doctor or pharmacist.
