Reaction issue to probiotics/fiber

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hello all,

Whenever I try to take probiotics, prebiotics, or probiotic type foods even in small amounts, I get pains around my small intestine/ colon area in the midsection. This is also true for fiber such as chia seeds. The longer I take it , the worse the pains become. I have reversed sibo and food allergy issues.

Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

Thank you

    hi ryan, i often take probiotics as this is really helpful for me. not everyone takes them and they don't agree with everyone. who told you to take them, how do you take them and have you tried different ones? do you think you are stressing yourself out before you take them? are you predicting pain? it's possible you have an intolerance to them and it's possible the fibre is worse! try not to take both together and note your symptoms from taking them and then ring your doctors and then go see your doctor or go to see a dietitian! good luck, it sounds odd but it's possible i suppose!
