Probiotics causing stomach ache !
Posted , 12 users are following.
We try so hard to be well. Have had a struggle with sinus, headaches, ears and stomach for about a year now and it was supposedly under control and geting better, then I took a large dose of biotics to replace the good bacteria as I had been under the weather and taking three weeks of anti biotics. Next thing I knew my stomach felt awful and has done ever since - nearly a week now. The pp2 and the ibs tablets do not help. Anyone else had any similar experiences?

It could be you started with to high a count and it was too much for your system. Try starting with 3 billion. Maybe try another brand. All brands are not the same. Research before you buy, always. Don't buy WalMart, Walgreens
go to a health store who can give you more info. And not GNC. Make sure there is not a lot of other ingredients. Expiration date thru shelf life.

We seem to be chatting a lot on here! I can't take probiotics either, they make averything worse. a simple explanantion could be that it's not the right probiotics as there are many to choose from each offering a different mix of healthy bacteria, so if you choose the wrong one you get too much and it makes you sick.

sorry you're so ill. think you may be making it worse with the blue cheese though, I can't touch the stuff (because it's fermented I think.) Get on the vegetables I mentioned in the other discussion and your stomach will calm right down, when you roast them in the oven in olive oil they are heavenly!

The violently insisted nobody had ever had this problem and tried to say it was me or a coincidence or caused by something else, but I KNOW it was this. They did not contain that strain. I often wonder though why we are supposed to keep taking them. Once our stomach is full of friendly bacteria surely they can take care of themselves unless we put in some poisonous antibiotics or something that spoils them?

Are you able to get out of the house now? The trouble with this illness is the more stressed/depressed you are, the worse you get. Mine had got really good about eight years ago after homeopath, then we were burgled four years ago and the stress made mine really bad again. Im still trying to get it under control.

Always read and research on what kind to take, what to look for how much to take and which ones. That's on anything.

Don't feel up to working and doing my normal things so it is a long day. Of course I am no longer taking the probiotics after they knocked me for six. I have a sort of theory Batgirl. Just as antibiotics can knock out a lot of the flora in your stomach which is good perhaps biotics can knock out some of the bad flora which we also need and give it a bad balance. Like a see saw effect where we have to make sure it it is not all or nothing? I managed to get rid of my ear problem and pain by taking the anti biotics previously and NASONEX (but I refuse to use this every day and only when needed ) and using an ear popper, maybe it would have gone anyway without it. I also had a
bad cough but that is cleared up now.
One of the things that drives me mad is when you speak to a doctor and they ask you something like DO YOU GET NAUSEA and they think this is a clue to what is wrong withyou - yet you are taking three medications which can cause nausea so it is misleading. And if you are telling them that your problem started when you took the high dose of probiotics this should tell them all they need to know.
