I actually found through experimentation with numerous supplements from different companies, that it doesnt seem to be related to bifido or lacto. Metagenics has one with bifido only called Bifoviden but it seemed to be the worst constipator for me and my mom who tried it. There's one called "align" sold at walmart and the pharmacy which worked well though and that has bifantis in it. Currently im taking culturelle which is a lactobacillus strain and it worked the best for me.

Through testing, i found lots of yeast and fungal issues (non candida species) in my small intestine and also probably my colon and for that reason, i think that probiotics end up constipating me somehow. Not really sure of the actual mechanism behind it but it could be related to the probiotics being killed and unable to do its job or my doctor suggested that it could be that since yeast causes loose stool, that my gut has adapted to its effects and taking probiotics is having the oppositive effect which should go away after adjustment or when the fungal issues are gone.

I know that all of it will go away when the fungal issues are taken care of though.

Also, jarrow makes one called bifidofactor which is pretty cheap and reliable.
