hi Dr. I started to have symptoms of gastritis immediately after starting a very strong probiotic. i was diagnosed with gastritis about 5 months later and i’m still suffering. would the probiotics cause this? i also found out i have very low WBC and RBC counts low iron and low b12. i’m vegetarian.

because we know very little about the gut microbiome, how do we know we cannot take to much, or taking over 10 billion is to much?
I take the “garden of life”probiotics for woman and I swear by them. I have never felt so good…I went a month without them to see if they really made me feel better or if it was in my head and I felt horrible..starting taking them again and within a week I was feeling so much better. Just feels like I can think clearer, I’m less depressed, it regulates me using the bathroom and my over all health feels so much better, I seem to have more energy but not nervous energy like I normally felt..I’ve taken some brands and they didn’t seem to give me the benefits of the garden of life brand and I’m not sure why or what was different. But I swear by probiotics because they definitely work well for my body.

Advice from someone who does sound editing: You want to use a levelator on your videos FYI. Makes the quite parts and loud parts equally as loud in a balanced sort of way. You can still have loud and quite after you use a levelator but they are not TOO loud or TOO quiet.
The information you provide is so vital, and on top of that, your talent to convey your knowledge and experience is superior. Thank you!
Really polished delivery.

I’ve been taking probiotics for 4 years because I had gut issues, but now I eat a balanced whole food diet and I am stopping my other supplements. It seems taking them when I don’t need them has been causing problems. The withdrawal symptoms were tough though. Are there withdrawal symptoms from stopping probiotics?
What about frequent cramping? Is that what bloating intestines feel like? Even if the individual has no issue having bowel movements?
I have Clinical Depression and was once prescribed a probiotic supplement in a capsule. they say it helps gut secretions of serotonin. However, when prescription ran out, I tried commercial ones from the supermarket and am suspecting that they are the culprit of my diarrhea. Are they?
Are there any probiotics that can displace each pylori ? Thank you 😊

Hi my name is Clara Perez I have diverticulitis Hernia And acid reflux For the past month I've been dealing with my stomach Up above below my breast I'm burping a lot and passing gas I did go to the ER they took a CAT scan they said they didn't find anything I've been dealing with my stomach for years now And on top below my breast My bowel movement haven't been the best I had a colonoscopy done A few months ago and they said everything looked good do you have any advice for me I live in Pennsylvania
I have a friend who drinks rosé during the day and takes a probiotic every night possibly to avoid hangovers. Is that a good mixture?
Best probiotics are from natural fermented food sources . I drink kefir and eat raw sauerkraut and it’s helped my stomach issues a lot so far.

Vaginal microbiome needs certain Lactobacillus strains to prevent Bacterial Vaginosis and UTIs. There is a fair amount of research on this.
Protolitic probiotics are absolutely life changing... So please if you are to speak on them make sure you have real dialogue and history on the matter...
I had cect recently the report came normal only thing is I have intestinal infection as the report says mucosal fold thickening involving jejunal and ileal loop with subcentimeter size mesentery lymphnodes 9×7mm- possibly non specific jejunoilitis and doctor said not to take antibiotics then how will the inflammation and infection go away as my ers is also high ie 53...please guide if pre probiotics could help..plus I have weight loss and green stools...... Please help
Dr I am taking 10 billion probiotic.I have gas ,diahrea as days go by.doctor told me that probiotic won't make any problems.
I find that it’s hard to overdose. I love eating Kim chee, kombucha, apple cider vinegar, Natto, and kefir.. sometimes I eat all of these in one day. I find that if I don’t eat probiotics for a while and eat a lot at once, I do get an upset stomach, bloating, etc. generally I love probiotics though! I see it in my physical health and my clear skin.
I bought probiotics and i kind of see a change, i suffer from constipation, for sure i see a difference I now use the toilet daily without much strain
Probiotics and enzyme therapy is the best along with raw sauerkraut, broccoli.
Do probiotics feed the bad bacteria and yeast as well? If you have acid reflux, you have yeast in your stomach... a lot of soaps break that natural barrier on our skin that keeps it out so a lot of people have it
Does excessive intake of probiotic yogurts cause prostate cancer?
I have ulcerative colitis. I’m eating prebiotics every morning (low sugar instant oatmeal). Late afternoon 4 ounces of whole milk organic kefir. Any other tips?

What happened
My 3.5 yo son broke into the pantry and climbed the shelves and got into the children's chocolate flavoured pro biotics and ate the whole bottle. It's been about two months and hes still not quite right ... Bloated, constipated to the point of serious discomfort and just not himself. And it seems to have all been from this episode... I'm worried after increasing fruit and vege and fibre filled foods and water intake he still seems to be struggling... Is it related or a coincidence? I'm unsure what to do :/

Definity affected his gut microbiome, maybe try to message some of the functional doctors on Instagram, they can be very helpful. Wait to increase fiber intake as this can make the problem worse if done too soon. Hopefully his gut microbiome can balance itself given time, but I would try to get help from a functional doctor.

I know many people say probiotics help with acid reflux but can a high dose eg. 90 billion, actually cause acid reflux? I am trying to find out if that’s what’s causing mine. I removed all trigger foods and no change so I know it’s not my diet.

that's a very high dose. I would start with prebiotics and a low dose probiotic 5 billion or less 2-3 times a week not daily. this helped me.
Just because you don’t have evidence or you do t k ow an answer, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

My gut went off the rails when I started taking them - almost ended up in the ER with severe pain, bloating and related issues. And this was a high quality brand, on the guidance of a highly regarded holistic nutritionist. NOPE, never doing that again.

If I stop taking the probiotics I go back to bloating. So bad So It has done me good for the pass month the product I take is Culturelle. The first product I took was HEB probiotic. It did ok but my dr recommend the Culturelle. I can not see about mood or anything else in general because I am a natural Energizer Bunny. But as for bloating it works special with the 30 pounds I gained in a period of 6 years. But it does work on removing inches as well !😊
