Been following a discussion on the internet where people have said that probiotics made them worse. The symptoms they had varied from brain fog, spaced out, more diarrohea, more gas - etc. etc. - the list goes on.
One reply did interest me when someone said that since taking them she found she was reacting to food she could normally eat (think she also had histamine intolerance). I found this interesting because foods I could eat previously - two examples that spring to mind are yoghurt and eggs. There are others but cannot think of them at the moment but I know that my foods I now can have has got less since probiotics.
Posting this to see if anyone else has similar experiences
I suspect many people have just gone to a supermarket, bought the first probiotic drink they saw, and have then had an adverse reaction! What a surprise!
There are many different probiotic supplements and many different bacteria. If you are considering taking probiotics you need to do your research. What you are trying to achieve?
I take a probiotic every morning for my gut health as I have IBS.
I researched and tried several different ones over two or three years.
I ignored probiotic drinks from the start as I was unhappy about the sugar content.
I also ignored probiotics that were very cheap, as I wanted a quality product.
Some I tried made no obvious difference, but some gave me more wind and bloating.
When I found the one that suited me best, I stuck with it and have been taking it for several years.
It has reduced the number of flare ups and I generally feel more comfortable in my stomach.
Yes, I am certain that some probiotics can make you ill, but that is probably because you have taken one picked at random without any thought or research!

No these people were not on about drinks etc but bought expensive probiotics for Sibo or histamine intolerance and had bad reactions. I over the years have tried loads have a cupboard full and not found one ghat actually works. I am an expert on them now so will not be clicking on your link. Not one size fits all. I was merely posting the downside to probiotics which i have experienced personally
Not had any of the experiences you describe, just that one or two gave me a bit of wind.
I have had weight gain, worse bloating my main problem, headache,dry eye ....l.casei, mood swings depression, increase in breast size.... . Bif infantis. List goes on. With and without prebiotics. Bought expensive Custom Probiotics from America to middle range. Never cheap ones. Not found one that really helps bloat. What do you take
Goodness gracious! Never even considered for one moment that probiotics could cause that!!
