Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Tough to say. I've never seen a bad reaction with probiotics at any strength. Are you immune compromised in any way? The VSL #3 is a packet with powder, so if you did get that, you could start with small amts and work your way up. Same thing with the Custom Probiotics. That comes in a cannister.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Bonnie, I just read on this site that if you have a bad reaction to acidophilus (it didn't mention other probiotics) that it means you have leaky gut syndrome. (genova diagnostics labs tests for this in the US) http://healthychristianliving.com/leaky_gut_syndrome.htm (I have no idea what Christianity has to do with leaky gut, but it's a decent article).
