I was just wondering if you can take too many Probiotics????

I take one with each meal and am also trying to eat one yougurt daily.

I take various probiotics and try to mix it up....

I was just wondering if anyone had ever heard that a person can take too many probiotics????

Thanks.

of course you can! Not that it's dangerous though, but too many probiotics can cause gas, cramping, bloating and pain. Everything in moderation!!!

Thank you.

I know that obviously you can take too many, but I guess what I am getting at is do you think taking one at every meal and eating yogurt is too many while on abx?

I know that Dr. B suggests taking 2 with every meal. I was wondering if people here have had tolerance problems with that much or what other Dr's suggest???

Thanks [Smile]

I take one Florastor (beneficial yeast) at breakfast, and one other probiotic at bedtime (varying which one each night). I eat about 1/2 a yogurt per day.

More than that, and I can get constipated. If you are tolerating what you are doing, then go for it. Just make sure you take the probiotics a couple of hours away from the antibiotic, otherwise you basically kill off the probiotic with the antibiotic.
