Single line answer to your problem is 'You should rely upon Natural sources of everything first....rather than taking supplements for everything' protein supplements can be taken depending upon ur exercise needs...but again whey proteins n egg proteins....n that too not in excess....talk to a dietician regarding ur calories burnt daily n need of ur body.
Your loose stools are most likely due to excess of proteins (undigested) in ur diet....which can damage ur kidneys also. Keep a check on ur KFTs...
For probiotics there are several natural sources like probiotic curd/butter milk. also Increase fiber content in ur diet.
