Terri.....overdosing on Probiotics possible?

[Guest guest]

I want to thank you for your recommendation to up the probiotics for

my chronic diarhea. Worked like a charm!

Just wondering....can one overdose on probiotics or digestive

enzymes? I've been taking them by the handful now that I see they

actually WORKED LOL

Also, can you mix brands? Mercola says to take the ones with

sporalones (sp?) and mine don't have those. But thought I'd order

them and take with mine...the refrigerated type. I'm getting ready to

go on a 3-week trip and do not want to travel with the refrig. type

due to hassle

Thanks

Naffy,

Sorry I do not have an anwer to your? but I have a ?

I take probiotics every now and again and took some yersterday before my

meals

PB8 by nurtition now. I have taken them before and this morning woke up with

SO much stomach pain I was layiny on the bathroom floor for over 20 mins. .

Nothing else I took was diff.

I know that probiotics are known to help the good bacteria and kill off old

.. I never had this happen before. It finally has stopped but I have not

taken anymore. Have you heard of this were at first one can feel sick from

the probiotics.

Happy to hear you are feeling better!

I NEVER get stomach pain...even when my diarhea is at its

worst...I'm pain free. So I cannot help you there. But lay-down-on-

the-floor pain is a big reaction, and I would go off them for a few

days to see.

I have never heard of anyone ODing on probiotics, I've known people to take

upwards of a whole bottle in a day with a stomach virus....we even give them to

my young grandchildren, especially if they take antibiotics for any

reason...which we try to avoid.... you can still take the refrigerated ones if

they aren't refrigerated, they just don't maintain their strength as long when

not refrigerated. Heat kills the bacteria, and it would do it with any brand.

I take and sell Bifidolphus Flora Force by Nature's Sunshine, I use the Super

Space Sprinkles for my grandkids, they're designed by Dr. , I believe. I

took Allegheny Nutrition's digestive enzymes for a year, but switched to

Nature's Sunshine's Food Enzymes and I've found it works better for me, it has

HCI in it, as well as pancreatic enzymes, and the Allegheny were just vegetable

based....

I used to have constipation, heartburn, indigestion, acid stomach,

diverticulitis, etc., now I have none of those issues...for the first time in my

life, and it's great.

You should be having 2 to 3 bowel movements a day, the size and consistency of

a ripe banana, it's best to have one after each meal, within less than an hour

or so....food in, food out...you know what I mean?

Your transit time can be checked by eating corn without chewing well and

timing when you see it again.....ideal is 18 hours.....that may be a good goal

for you, to keep up with the enzymes and probiotics until your transit time is

under control....
