Subscribed. Much needed content. I have one question! I have a probiotic supplement with 18 months expiry and it's almost 16 months now. At the same time it is an air tight container, I opened it 16 months back. Is it safe to consume or should I buy another one? Thank you
It is safe to consume. After the expiration date, the manufacturer cannot guarantee the amount of flora you will get from each capsule will be accurate to what the package says.
This is very informative! Thanks for sharing your knowledge on probiotics! Been taking mine for 4 days now and been experiencing the first 3 side effects already. Just want to know your thoughts on Swanson’s Ultimate 16 Strain Probiotics as this is the brand I am currently dealing with. 😊
I am sorry you are struggling after taking the probiotic. I recommend working with us/Oswald Digestive Clinic to help sort out the underlying causes of your gut issues.
Thank you kindly for this informative and helpful video. My husband swears that every time he starts taking probiotics again they keep him awake at night. Even if he only takes it in the morning. Any idea why that might be? Will that pass over time as his gut adjusts...?
Research shows that probiotics typically have a beneficial effect on sleep. My feeling is that he may be having an adverse reaction to the fillers in the probiotic and not the flora itself.
Hello .. I was diagnosed with B Hominis last oct. took metrondiazole and cleared it. Now july positive again so started with S. Boulardi. 2 wks ago. .. so far no help for really loose stools for a month now , been taking it for 1 week and symptoms seem worse. should i stop . It was one of the probiotics shown to help with parasites. thanks
B Hominis is a tricky parasite to eradicate, but can be done successfully. I recommend setting up an appointment at our clinic, www.oswalddigestiveclinic.com/schedule. S. Boulardi, can help to keep it in check, but first we need to rid it.
This is a great information, thanks for this video? Do you recommend Natures Way probiotic? I just recently started taking it and would like to make sure Im taking the right thing and if is recommended. Thanks in advance!
Thank you for watching! Happy you found the content helpful! In regards to your question of Nature's Way, they carry several different options for probiotics, given I am not sure which you are taking, I advise taking one that has bifidobacterium and lactobacillus strains.
@@OswaldDigestiveClinic Thank you for responding to my message. To be more clear I am taking Nature’s Way Fortify Daily Probiotic for Adults, 30 Billion Live Cultures, 10 Strains, Prebiotics and it has included the two you have mentioned. My concern is if Natures Way probiotics are really live probiotics. I found a video were the doctor explained in order to know the pills contains live bacteria, you have to open one and dissolved in milk in a plate. Let it sit over night and in the morning if you see the portion of milk that had contact with the probiotics looks like cheese then that probiotic is alive, but if not that means is not live bacteria. I did the test and unfortunately I didn’t see the milk turned solid like pieces of cheese. Maybe I see 2% fat milk and doesn’t work that way? Could you tell how can we make sure those probiotics are in fact alive?
It may be beneficial to call the manufacturer to get a clear picutre of their processing standards as well as their guaranteed amount of live bacteria in each capsule.
@@OswaldDigestiveClinicHi Oswald! Question. What is your thoughts on thr brand Align probiotic? I got the 24/7 digestive support. I tried a probiotic, i think culturelle or something like that abt 1.5 years ago. I discontinued after 4 days of use due to extreme diarrhea. I now see I shouldve gave it longer to adapt. From what i remember that was really my only symptom. Maybe some slight stomach cramps but they were a maybe a 2 on a 1-10 scale so they were no big deal. I suffer from constant constipation with a little bloating. I am in pretty good shape body wise. Maybe at 16% BF and i eat pretty healthy. I have other symptoms but not sure if they are result of my gut. I used to be a weekend binge drinker (alcohol) and would go all weekend without food, only booze. I am 12 months alcohol free or any substance free though. Never going back there. I say that abt my drinking issue to explain why I am taking probiotics. I think with the years of alcohol abuse screwed up my gut. Last time i took the probiotic i was peeing out my bumhole (TMI I know) like 3-4 times a day. I stay hydrated also. Anyways, I have done got off topic. Thoughts on the Align brand?
I’m from Pakistan, aged 27, and severely underweight 41 kg. My nutritionist prescribed me 12 billion cfu probiotics but I’m thinking of starting by taking a 5 billion cfu dose of probiotics. Let's see what I will experience, I’ll share my experience after one month. Can you suggest to me any best brand?
Beginning slowly with the probiotic is a wise choice. This is a nice option for a probiotic. flussonutrients.nutridyn.com/ultrabiotic-daily. Begin with one cap every other day.
Pain can come from various sources, if your gut is not healthy you may experience pain as well as if you have a Lyme infection, as that is commonly known to cause pain in our body. If you are struggling with either or both, it may be helpful to work with a practitioner to get to the root cause. If you would like you can schedule at anytime with our clinic. www.oswalddigestiveclinic.com
Do you have video about one called Bacillus clausii i found one in mexico the brand is sinuberanse its pretty good never taken this but i was having colitis symptoms forever i tried searching for a video on this one on your channel
I don't get it. Probiotics do not stay in the gut after we stop taking them. This is why I don't understand why probiotics would help? So what sporeforming probiotics are good for IBS(sibo)?
Probiotics help to repopulate with flora you may not currently have or have enough of, as they repopulate the GI tract they can help to minimize opportunistic bacteria, setting your gut up for better health. There are many soil-based probiotics on the market, my recommendation would be to look for one that contains; Bacillus Clausii, Bacillus Coagulans, and Bacillus Subtilis. Thank you for taking time to comment!
Why do you say probiotics only last a finite amount of time but the bad bugs live there? It’s almost like your saying once on probiotics you will have to use them indefinitely?
Thank you for listening!! The probiotic will improve the the flora in your gut, by helping to decrease the amount to of bad bacteria. Over time and use of a probiotic paired with a whole food diet it would not be necessary to stay on a probiotic indefinitely.
Well, I get backed up pretty easily and quite a lot. So, I decided to start taking probiotics to try and treat that. First few days were okay. Looked like the constipation was getting treated and I felt pretty good. Got a result every time I went to the bathroom lol. But then, after about a week or so... i don't know, it seemed like they stopped working? Granted, i do feel a bit of a difference. i feel a bit more energetic, and my tummy generally feels somewhat better I guess. But the constipation is still there, on top of that a lot of gas and bloating, the sciatica is more prevalent than usual... so... geez I'm not sure anymore. is more constipation another side effect? Cause right now I'm back to my trusted friend mr prune juice. i had hoped the probiotics would have done something, especially after those promising first few days. Maybe i should stop taking them.. or perhaps have more patience and continue? i honestly don't know what to do..
Probiotics can help in a variety of ways and as you have noted you do feel some difference. There can be other factors to our constipation besides the flora in our gut. Working on healthy gut flora is great, however, it may be beneficial to with our clinic to sort out other factors. I encourage you to make an initial appointment at www.oswalddigestiveclinic.com/schedule
Probiotics alone may not be all you need to help heal your gut. It is important to get to the root cause of your leaky gut. I recommend making an appointment with one of our clinicians at www.oswalddigestiveclinic.com/schedule to help you navigate your gut health.
Thanks for watching. I am sorry to hear you are struggling. It may be beneficial to work with a practitioner to help get to the underlying cause of your bloating.
You may have been experiencing a die off effect from the toxins the good flora was ridding. Try a probiotic again, but introduce slowly, two caps/week, when comfortable increase to three caps/week, then every other day and finally every day.
There are a few strains of flora which have the ability to reduce histamines. They are lactobacillus rhamnosus, bifidobacterium infantis, and bifidobacterium longum.
A healthy microbiome will always help support your anxiety and OCD. We need bifidobacterium to produce our neurotransmitters. You may want to look for a probiotic that contains this family of flora.
I am taking the megaspore gut protocal (3 part .pre-pro - and immune modulator-colustrum without the dairy ) with good results .its pricey up front but well worth it ...its a 12 week protocol ..it did cause a lot of gas and leakage in the beginning but that has gotten better for me as time has went on ..everyone is different though ..I have no plans on stopping the megasporebiotic any time soon even after the protocol is done .may add another one to it from time to time depending on which issues I need to fix 😊
I shot fermented cabbage based vegetable juice into myself via retention enema maybe five times now after having come off a week long hot spring water fast. I have way too many enzymes in my system at this point, and my stomach hurts BADLY! It might be a bit before I can go back for more implantation.
I just take 1capsule of 60 billion probiotic this 4:00pm today oct 1,2024 And my side effect after 3hrs I feel dizzy .and Sweating I thought it well help my digestion system because everytime i eat I have acid reflux Hope u can answer my problem Thank you😢
The amount taken (60 billion) was far too much to begin with. Begin with a lower amount 5-10 billion and take every other to every two days until your body can adjust to the new flora.
Probiotics can help give your gut microbiome a more diverse flora base leading to better overall health and diminished symptoms. It is beneficial even for skin issues.
Hi , great video thank you for sharing , now I believe I am very sensitive to histamine and get bad headaches ever since I started on garden of life probiotics, especially the new one ( called gas and bloating ) it’s a pre pro and post biotic , and I gave it enough time took it over a few months , can you recommend a probiotic that doesn’t raise up my histamine production ? I would greatly appreciate your help in this , thank you for your time Dom
Thank you for watching. Our latest video on probiotics, discusses specific species of bacteria regarding histamine intolerance. th-cam.com/video/nVYfM26wYp8/w-d-xo.html
Probiotics have been shown to be positive for those with UC. I recommend working with a health practitioner who is well versed on probiotics to be sure you are taking what is best for you.
Yakult contains 9g of added sugars and natural flavors, these may be the reason for your bloating and sensation of feeling hungry. I would recommend and kefir product with no added sugars or natural flavorings. Begin with a small amount and work up to more as your body gets used to the flora provided in the kefir.
Probiotcs made me gain weight. And now I cant lose it?? I've never had problems losing weight it's been and a month and I'm stuck. Only changes I made were adding a probiotic, it had lactobacillus acidophilus in it... its been 2 weeks since I quit taking it and still not losing, not even water weight! Help!
Sorry to hear you were struggling with the probiotics. You may want to try easing into them. Sometimes, we can have die off of opportunistic flora that may have created your symptoms. If you want to try them again, take 1cap every other day at bedtime.
I struggle with chronic bloating, even when I drink water, constipation, weakness after food. I found out I had excess gas in my stomach. I’ve been treated but still bloat. If I’m to take probiotics, how many cfu can I start with?
I took probiotics. Drank three shots of alcohol hours and hours later. I felt so sick after a few hours I wanted to blow my brains out. Dunno if it was probiotics or what but I took another tablet today and am not gonna drink anything but water
Thanks for sharing your experience, Dark Star King. I'm glad to hear that you're sticking to water for now, and if you have any other concerns or questions about probiotics, feel free to let me know. Or you can take our initial appointment with us, we accept insurance: www.oswalddigestiveclinic.com/scheduling
You did not discuss one of the most important side effects: brain fog that develops slowly over the first week of taking the probiotic every day. There is a study by Satish Rao that suggests this effect may be due to Lactobacillus colonizing the small intestine and creating d-lactate, which is a form of lactate that the human body cannot metabolize and that acts as a neurotoxin.
Hi! Typically, there are no side effects to drinking water kefir. This is a great probiotic option. As with all fermented foods, it smells off / funny, though, just don't drink it as there might be harmful bacteria growing.
I had eczema in my upper thumb, which had become alright with a topical steroid. I was okay past 4 months. But it's been 2 days since starting probiotics, and i can see some dryness returning in that area. I thought probiotics cured skin issues. What could be going on with me??
You may be experiencing die off of opportunistic flora because of the new healthy flora inthe probiotic. You can stop the probiotic for a couple of weeks to see if symptoms get better, then add back in every other day to let the body adapt.
How do I get these raw pro, pre biotics out of my system? I was taking raw pro and pre biotics with digestive enzymes for about 2 weeks. My acid reflux is gone however I had diarrhea and lightheadedness. The lightheadedness is scary. I stopped taking almost 1 week ago and still have the intermittent lightheadedness. Please any advice to rid these from my system would be greatly appreciated, its a horrible feeling, I would rather have the reflux then this weird head feeling. Thank you.
I am sorry to hear you are struggling with some uncomfortable side effects. The body is always losing and changing flora in the gut due to what we eat and general functioning of our intestinal system. There is nothing specific you can do to rid the flora besides time. I recommend you stay hydrated and pay attention to meal timing, as low blood sugar can cause lightheadedness.
I have neurogenic pruritus for 2 1/2 years. The itch is unbearable at night. I was given so many anti histamines . At first the combination of hydroxyzine, Pepcid and montelukast was helpful but now I think my body has been immune to it. I am now taking Venlafaxine due to anxiety Grounding helped inflammation but there is a supplement called my immunity that claims it can get rid of the itch right away. It’s a probiotic . My western doc want nb photo ray to do often or light therapy my naturopath wants me to take ashwaghanda, fish oil, curcumin now adding what she calls Jarro Dophilus EPs probiotic This is the first time I will take probiotic. I drink kool or yakult and it helps me but full of sugar or is it ok to try My Immunity Balance I am so sick of this idiopathic itch Please help
Taking Lactoferrin has the ability to increase the moisture of skin...this may be an option in conjunction with your other supplement therapies to help your skin condition.
i have IBD before im okay with probiotic tablet doctor give now when i use it i have more go toilet diarea n ain iritation feeling😢 hard for me dont what to do
Is it possible to be 1 month into taking probiotics and just now experiencing the gas, gurgling, mucosy diarrhea? Trying to figure out what is causing this. Would it be wise to take 1 every other day and see a difference or stop all together? I've been having poor symptoms for about a week now
Having symptoms one month into taking the probiotic would be unlikely unless you increased your dose per day. I recommend taking the product out completely, to see if symptoms subside or go away. You can always add them back in slowly with one every two days and then every other day.
@AM-ww9gk it's a little embarrassing but I narrowed it down to eating cauliflower rice that was in the fridge too long. After experiencing that a couple times I knew that was the cause.
Freaking horrible gut cramping, bloating, headaches, seriously aggravated back pain and sciatica - almost went to the ER. No thanks. And yeah, this was on the advice of a well qualified homeopathic nutritionist.
I have puffy stomach it happened to me for a good while now but I eat a lot of vegetables and it's do not help me that much I go to the bathroom a do not come out oh it's supposed to come it's come a little it made my belly Puff I like to know what to do go to the doctor already give me some pills do not help me that much I buy this product can you tell me if it could for my bellyprovitalize
Thank you for your question. I feel it may be best to work with us at Oswald Digestive Clinic, to understand what my be an underlying issue with your gut.
Our mind and gut have a bidirectional connection and as it is not completely clear why dizziness presents with the use of probiotics, some studies do suggest they may be creating intestinal inflammation affecting the neuroendocrine system.
I suffered an intestinal yeast infection years ago (which I feel ) weakened my immune system . I recently asked my GI doctor if taking probiotics will help me now he said no. You're just wasting your money...
We suggest stopping the probiotics and scheduling with our clinic to see what more might be going on, that caused you to have such a strong intolerance - www.oswalddigestiveclinic.com/scheduling
Started on a probiotic two days ago per doctors request (also was tested positive for covid) and night of day 2 have painful cramping and bloating. Now watery diarrhea. How do I feel better and do I continue taking it?
Hoping you are feeling better. It may be best to add them in slowly. Take 1 every other day or even every 2 days to let your body adjust to the new flora.
@@OswaldDigestiveClinic yes! The 1st day i took it, i was very sick! I was nauseated and had a watery diarrhea. After succeeding ways, it did not happen anymore but i kinda felt weak after a week. So im taking it every 2 days.
Thank you for commenting. There are many great probiotics on the market, what was promoted is one we have found clinically to work well, hence the recommendation.
Western food is sterilised…we have less bacteria than say people in Africa….so at first…taking probiotics can cause diarrhoea and other digestion issues…as your body mounts a reaction against ‚new‘ bacteria …so you begin with little and build up…and your health provider knows very little or nothing about nutrition gut health…I speak from UK…
Thank you for commenting and sharing your thoughts! The body does indeed need to adapt to the new incoming bacteria from a probiotic, even in healthy guts. Symptoms may be more intense if a gut is unhealthy and likely there needs to be attention given to it before probiotics will be a good fit.
Appreciate your thoughts. There has been many studies conducted on probiotic use. Here is a study on S. Boulardii that may be insightful, as I beleive that is what you mean by the 6th side effect?www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3296087/

I need best probiotic supplements that you mentioned in the video please write me those 2 brand name
I take 15 billion 13 strains from amazon and i poop a lot.
Nice and informative!! Keep up the good work..
After two days of taking probiotics I experienced watery diarrhea. What should I do? The brand is Vitedox 60 Billion Probiotics.
I recommend stopping until your diarrhea subsides. Then you may want to resume the probiotic but very slowly, example 1cap at bedtime every other day.
me too
i was use mutaflor normally mo much diarea but now yes lota go diarea 12x toilet

while probiotics help with sleep, they raise your calcium absorption so hubby may need magnesium as well with elevated calcium levels

@@OswaldDigestiveClinicThanks
Thank you, very helpful.
You said they can last up to 2-3 weeks?
Probiotics remain in your intestine for about one to three weeks, depending on the strain and the what type of gut environment you have.
What about constipation? that is something I've experienced before taking probiotics and from the 4th day on (first 3 days were a great improvement)
Probiotics can be a great addition to helping the intestinal tract move properly and relieve constipation, as well as supporting the good flora.
Magnesium Citrate and/or vitamin C are great
You have to experiment with different probiotics to see what's best for you.
Why do you say probiotics only last a finite amount of time but the bad bugs live there? It’s almost like your saying once on probiotics you will have to use them indefinitely?

Probiotics can help give your gut microbiome a more diverse flora base leading to better overall health and diminished symptoms. It is beneficial even for skin issues.
Hi , great video thank you for sharing , now I believe I am very sensitive to histamine and get bad headaches ever since I started on garden of life probiotics, especially the new one ( called gas and bloating ) it’s a pre pro and post biotic , and I gave it enough time took it over a few months , can you recommend a probiotic that doesn’t raise up my histamine production ? I would greatly appreciate your help in this , thank you for your time Dom
Thank you for watching. Our latest video on probiotics, discusses specific species of bacteria regarding histamine intolerance. th-cam.com/video/nVYfM26wYp8/w-d-xo.html
smidge probiotics
If one is diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, is Probiotics a good thing or can it cause a flare-up?
Probiotics have been shown to be positive for those with UC. I recommend working with a health practitioner who is well versed on probiotics to be sure you are taking what is best for you.
But… what if you have UC and SIBO?
Whole milk organic Kefir. I use Lifeway brand. But start very slow. Maybe an ounce a day to start.
@@chrisfranco6603 how long have you taken kefir? I use that brand also
I notices some changes with my stomach after consuming a few bottles of Yakult. I feel bloated, and I keep starving all the time. Is this normal?
Yakult contains 9g of added sugars and natural flavors, these may be the reason for your bloating and sensation of feeling hungry. I would recommend and kefir product with no added sugars or natural flavorings. Begin with a small amount and work up to more as your body gets used to the flora provided in the kefir.
My mother is 60+. He has Anxiety. I am planning to buy her Probiotics 120B CFU with 36 strains. Is the dose right or too high for my mother?
I recommend beginning with less strains of flora, perhaps 5-7 strains. Also a lower count around 50-60 billion.
Cramps, bloating, nausea, discomfort mid-lower abdomen for me...I stopped taking it.
Hoping you are feeling better and finding the root cause of stomach issues.
Can it delay periods?
It would be unlikely to disrupt your menstrual cycle.
I am 20... suffering from chronic constipation and some digestive issues..can i start taking probiotics of 50 billion cfu ?????
You can....but you may want to begin with fewer CFU and start taking it every other day, until your body adjusts to the new flora.
Probiotcs made me gain weight. And now I cant lose it?? I've never had problems losing weight it's been and a month and I'm stuck. Only changes I made were adding a probiotic, it had lactobacillus acidophilus in it... its been 2 weeks since I quit taking it and still not losing, not even water weight! Help!
It may be best to work with a practitioner to help reveal any underlying causes.
I'm taking probiotics every morning.. Its giving me intense headache and Nausea.. I guess I'm stopping it now
Sorry to hear you were struggling with the probiotics. You may want to try easing into them. Sometimes, we can have die off of opportunistic flora that may have created your symptoms. If you want to try them again, take 1cap every other day at bedtime.
I struggle with chronic bloating, even when I drink water, constipation, weakness after food. I found out I had excess gas in my stomach. I’ve been treated but still bloat. If I’m to take probiotics, how many cfu can I start with?
Best to begin slowly with a probiotic that is made up of lactobacillus and bifidobacterium strains.
I take tribiotix is that okay?? I don’t know if I should stop
This looks like a good product. If you are feeling well on it, there would be no reason to stop.
I took probiotics. Drank three shots of alcohol hours and hours later. I felt so sick after a few hours I wanted to blow my brains out. Dunno if it was probiotics or what but I took another tablet today and am not gonna drink anything but water
Thanks for sharing your experience, Dark Star King. I'm glad to hear that you're sticking to water for now, and if you have any other concerns or questions about probiotics, feel free to let me know.
Or you can take our initial appointment with us, we accept insurance: www.oswalddigestiveclinic.com/scheduling
Makes me sick nauseous, headaches, feverish feels like hot flashes.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Recommend taking a closer look at your gut health, there may be underlying causes creating the symptoms.
You did not discuss one of the most important side effects: brain fog that develops slowly over the first week of taking the probiotic every day. There is a study by Satish Rao that suggests this effect may be due to Lactobacillus colonizing the small intestine and creating d-lactate, which is a form of lactate that the human body cannot metabolize and that acts as a neurotoxin.
Thank you for watching. Please share the study, would be interesting to read.
@@OswaldDigestiveClinic Here you go:
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6006167/
Yes, probiotics give me brain fog. Even the d lactate free ones. So strange
@@OswaldDigestiveClinic www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6006167/
I’m taking acidophilus probiotics for my bv and it’s like my headaches and nausea won’t go away idk if it’s the probiotic or the bv
You may need to slow down with the acidophilus. Try taking it every other day to let the body get used to it.
is it beneficial to a digestive enzymes supplement with probiotics added to it?
It would be most beneficial to take them separately.
Dra. what side effeck drink water kefer?
Hi! Typically, there are no side effects to drinking water kefir. This is a great probiotic option. As with all fermented foods, it smells off / funny, though, just don't drink it as there might be harmful bacteria growing.
@@OswaldDigestiveClinic thank you dra.
im not sayin it does but since i been taking them my muscle in my back is sore
You may want to stop the probiotic and in a few weeks add it back in at a lower dose. i.e. 1cap every other day.
I had eczema in my upper thumb, which had become alright with a topical steroid. I was okay past 4 months. But it's been 2 days since starting probiotics, and i can see some dryness returning in that area. I thought probiotics cured skin issues. What could be going on with me??
You may be experiencing die off of opportunistic flora because of the new healthy flora inthe probiotic. You can stop the probiotic for a couple of weeks to see if symptoms get better, then add back in every other day to let the body adapt.
My stomach got bloated ..do I need to stop?
You may want to stop and when you bloating has resided...resume the probiotic incorporating 1cap every other day to minimize bloating.
Do you accept Medicare?
We do not accept Medicare.
How do I get these raw pro, pre biotics out of my system? I was taking raw pro and pre biotics with digestive enzymes for about 2 weeks. My acid reflux is gone however I had diarrhea and lightheadedness. The lightheadedness is scary. I stopped taking almost 1 week ago and still have the intermittent lightheadedness. Please any advice to rid these from my system would be greatly appreciated, its a horrible feeling, I would rather have the reflux then this weird head feeling. Thank you.
I am sorry to hear you are struggling with some uncomfortable side effects. The body is always losing and changing flora in the gut due to what we eat and general functioning of our intestinal system. There is nothing specific you can do to rid the flora besides time. I recommend you stay hydrated and pay attention to meal timing, as low blood sugar can cause lightheadedness.
Hi. I started taking probiotics for a week now and I have developed rashes all over my body. Should I stop taking it. Is it because of the probiotics?
Recommend stopping the probiotic. You can begin at a lower pace after a couple weeks.
@@OswaldDigestiveClinic Okay. Thank you😊
What about Homeostatic Soil Organisms?
This may be an option, but hasn't been well researched yet. Some show many benefits and some warns there may be harmful factors.
How about those with SIBO ?
Best to speak with the practitioner you are working with on your SIBO, there are some who prefer probiotics while eliminating SIBO and others do not.
How long do i need to take probiotic to cure and completely reverse ibs d?
There may be food triggers or other underlying causes giving you IBS symptoms. You may need to look further than just the microbiome alone.
I have neurogenic pruritus for 2 1/2 years. The itch is unbearable at night. I was given so many anti histamines . At first the combination of hydroxyzine, Pepcid and montelukast was helpful but now I think my body has been immune to it. I am now taking Venlafaxine due to anxiety
Grounding helped inflammation but there is a supplement called my immunity that claims it can get rid of the itch right away. It’s a probiotic . My western doc want nb photo ray to do often or light therapy my naturopath wants me to take ashwaghanda, fish oil, curcumin now adding what she calls Jarro Dophilus EPs probiotic
This is the first time I will take probiotic. I drink kool or yakult and it helps me but full of sugar or is it ok to try My Immunity Balance I am so sick of this idiopathic itch
Please help
Taking Lactoferrin has the ability to increase the moisture of skin...this may be an option in conjunction with your other supplement therapies to help your skin condition.
i have IBD before im okay with probiotic tablet doctor give now when i use it i have more go toilet diarea n ain iritation feeling😢 hard for me dont what to do
Best to remove the probiotic. After two weeks, you can begin again but at a slower rate. Ex. 1cap every other day as your gut adjusts.
Good for h pylori?
Having healthy flora is always beneficial. Recommend using a lactobacillus acidophilus with H Pylori.
Is it possible to be 1 month into taking probiotics and just now experiencing the gas, gurgling, mucosy diarrhea? Trying to figure out what is causing this. Would it be wise to take 1 every other day and see a difference or stop all together? I've been having poor symptoms for about a week now
Having symptoms one month into taking the probiotic would be unlikely unless you increased your dose per day. I recommend taking the product out completely, to see if symptoms subside or go away. You can always add them back in slowly with one every two days and then every other day.
@AM-ww9gk it's a little embarrassing but I narrowed it down to eating cauliflower rice that was in the fridge too long. After experiencing that a couple times I knew that was the cause.
38Tera?
Freaking horrible gut cramping, bloating, headaches, seriously aggravated back pain and sciatica - almost went to the ER. No thanks. And yeah, this was on the advice of a well qualified homeopathic nutritionist.
Oh gosh I’m glad you’re okay and sorry to hear! That happened after you started a probiotic?
I got super ill too
Same here! Exact symptoms!!!
Homoeopathy is quackery
I got these side affects too after I have taken it for 3 days, so should I continue to use it or not?
I have puffy stomach it happened to me for a good while now but I eat a lot of vegetables and it's do not help me that much I go to the bathroom a do not come out oh it's supposed to come it's come a little it made my belly Puff I like to know what to do go to the doctor already give me some pills do not help me that much I buy this product can you tell me if it could for my bellyprovitalize
Thank you for your question. I feel it may be best to work with us at Oswald Digestive Clinic, to understand what my be an underlying issue with your gut.
Anyone know why I feel dizzy after taking a prebiotic/probiotic supplement?
Our mind and gut have a bidirectional connection and as it is not completely clear why dizziness presents with the use of probiotics, some studies do suggest they may be creating intestinal inflammation affecting the neuroendocrine system.
@@OswaldDigestiveClinic so would you suggest I discontinue use? How long will the dizziness last?
I would discontinue and restart at a slower pace after 2-3 weeks.
@@OswaldDigestiveClinic ok thanks
Thanks 🙏
How about direahha
Probiotics may increase diarrhea as the body repopulates with healthier bacteria.
I suffered an intestinal yeast infection years ago (which I feel ) weakened my immune system . I recently asked my GI doctor if taking probiotics will help me now he said no. You're just wasting your money...
With candida, research shows saccharomyces boulardii works very well.
Hey I took probiotics and I feeling so bad and hard brain fog, what can I do? Please help
We suggest stopping the probiotics and scheduling with our clinic to see what more might be going on, that caused you to have such a strong intolerance - www.oswalddigestiveclinic.com/scheduling
Started on a probiotic two days ago per doctors request (also was tested positive for covid) and night of day 2 have painful cramping and bloating. Now watery diarrhea. How do I feel better and do I continue taking it?
Maybe substitute diet with actual food with probiotics in them.
Hoping you are feeling better. It may be best to add them in slowly. Take 1 every other day or even every 2 days to let your body adjust to the new flora.
@@OswaldDigestiveClinic yes! The 1st day i took it, i was very sick! I was nauseated and had a watery diarrhea. After succeeding ways, it did not happen anymore but i kinda felt weak after a week. So im taking it every 2 days.
Smart and beautiful lady ❤
Everyone should take probiotics to help my stomach tremendously
Make my own milkkefir,sauerkraut,kimchi etc.❤
Never use supplements they dont do much. Make it yourself,thats the best.
I have liver disease that’s why My Gut gas and blooting after food
Yes, a poor functioning liver will result in more gas and bloating. First improve your diet with whole foods only.
I eat sourkrut ..... not in tablet or powered
Horrible histamine reaction to Align probiotics and organic yogurt with “ extra probiotics”…..I avoid all “ added probiotics”
Thank you for watching and sharing!
Smidge is low histamine and pure
i am a fungus person . i get yeast
You may want to try Saccharomyces Boulardii, a yeast supplement which can help to keep candida/yeast balanced in the intestinal tract.
talk bad about other ppls products and say that the product they make is the best & promote it .. everyone does this not only hee
Thank you for commenting. There are many great probiotics on the market, what was promoted is one we have found clinically to work well, hence the recommendation.
I just farted and my wife almost threw up. I say it was probiotics. That or and alien. I’ve never smelled something so bad.
Thank you for watching. If you have just started probiotics, there can be a die off of the unhealthy flora which can lead to symptoms or smelly gas.
You could drink kefir
Kefir does contain positive amounts of good flora.
Western food is sterilised…we have less bacteria than say people in Africa….so at first…taking probiotics can cause diarrhoea and other digestion issues…as your body mounts a reaction against ‚new‘ bacteria …so you begin with little and build up…and your health provider knows very little or nothing about nutrition gut health…I speak from UK…
Thank you for commenting and sharing your thoughts! The body does indeed need to adapt to the new incoming bacteria from a probiotic, even in healthy guts. Symptoms may be more intense if a gut is unhealthy and likely there needs to be attention given to it before probiotics will be a good fit.
The 6th side effect has not been well researched and medically approved yet!!! Probably you will never know what those pills are doing in your system!
Appreciate your thoughts. There has been many studies conducted on probiotic use. Here is a study on S. Boulardii that may be insightful, as I beleive that is what you mean by the 6th side effect?www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3296087/
It’s too long to listen to. You can just get to the point.

But how to increase good gut bacteria if probiotics cause anxiety
You can use fermented foods to help improve good flora. Foods such as full fat plain yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, fermented vegetables of any sort.
