Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Hi, I've been on Kirkman's probiotic (lactobacillus acidophilus) for 4 days. I am trying to introduce it slowly (about 1/3 of a capsule per day). It is making me feel sick: bloated, cramps, gas and diarrhea. Should I stop taking it or does my body have to get used to it? Thanks Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 You are probably going through die-off. See if activated chacoal will help or epsom salts baths. It helps lessen the effects in this period. I use both for my daughter and myself. The change in the flora will cause these symptoms. Your body will get used to this dose. For every die-off period, there is a progression of cognitive ability afterwards. That's what I have seen in my daughter anyway.
