Why Probiotics May Make You Feel Worse 

Just started probiotics and feel like garbage , definitely dizzy and headaches and aches all over feel like a a pressure in my head

🤯 came here because I do in fact feel worse after taking them with intestinal discomfort, grumbling, and lethargic / exhausted. So many big words my self confidence took a nose dive. I can almost see the smoke coming out of my ears. You seem incredibly knowledgeable and exactly the kind of guy I need for guidance but this is college level while I’m in elementary school.

Been having a headache and feeling kind of sick all week, now I know why. Started probiotics last week

Made me nausea, bloating, cramps.

Increased my venlaflaxine dose 3 weeks ago... Felt ok.. then started 100 billion cfu probiotic and felt HORRIBLE. I thought it was med side effects and about dropped my meds back down... Until I realized it was the probiotic stopped for 2 days now and already feeling better. Crazy how this works... More is NOT always better.

I've read that Bacillus Subtilis could be opportunistic as a Probiotic, yet I've seen it in some high quality spore based Probiotics. Should this be a reason for concern?

Thank you so much for this. I’ve been going through detox and I’ve upped my probiotic, but I feel crazy. Been to the ER 3 times, thinking I was dying. I have headaches and I never had that.😊

Do probiotics not mix with milk? I got extremely sick after drinking a glass of milk later in the night. And I drink a karma probiotic water in the morning the past like four days.

thank you so much

The probiotics don't cause high histamine per say. It's the die off that causes a histamine reaction

I heard probiotics supposed to help with acid reflux but can they actually make acid reflux worse for some people? I feel like my probiotic has brought me acid reflux.

Hi , great video thank you for sharing , now I believe I am very sensitive to histamine and get bad headaches ever since I started on garden of life probiotics, especially the new one ( called gas and bloating ) it’s a pre pro and post biotic , and I gave it enough time took it over a few months , can you recommend a probiotic that doesn’t raise up my histamine production ? I would greatly appreciate your help in this , thank you for your time Dom

What stool test do you prefer to use? I’d appreciate a response. Thank you for the videos!

Thanks for the great vídeos. This is not Just a vídeo, it is a legacy.

I have to stop both my Probiotic and antibiotic Because of horrible side effects I don’t know if it’s the antibiotics or probiotics Feel horrible

I took probiotics it made me so so hungry i kept eating and my stomach felt like it wants infinite food. But good thing i didn’t eat any sugar because it will ruin the point of probiotics

Been on them for two weeks, I occelate between extreme hunger and unable to eat. It's been weird idk if i should continue.

No more questions? Ah, lets pull the sound issue line.

The best probiotic I find it growing your own food in organic soil and eating it fresh. I grow sprouts and then just pick them and eat them. I also do small amounts of water kefir and am building up my tolerance. Paleo has helped tremendously. Still cannot tolerate potatoes.

Can probiotics cause itchy skin? In particular the acidophilus type? I began taking it to help clear up thrush but I’ve now been taking it for just over 3 weeks and after about a week of taking it I started to get really itchy skin in various parts of my body, mostly chest and midriff area but also inside wrists, inside elbows, back of neck around the hairline, (also armpits but they’re ok now). I initially thought it could be eczema as I do have random flare ups every now and again but am not a regular sufferer. The only thing I’ve done differently is start taking these probiotics. My skin is intensely itchy at times, especially at night, there is a slight rash in the areas where I start itching which can change daily. I’ve tried various creams and topical treatments which only soothe short term. Night time is the worst. If anyone can answer I’d be very grateful. Thank you.

Im having a psoriasis flare up and Im thinking it may be the immunoglobulin Ive been taking.

I had the most violent vomiting of my life after taking a probiotic for the first time. 6-8 times in an evening. I didn’t connect the two, I almost ended up in the er I felt like I was dying

I have SIBO and have noticed some histamine intolerance off and on been taking pro and probiotics that’s making feel worst and blowing me up like a balloon with gas. I have history of gastritis, acids reflux and esophagitis per Upper endoscopy. Going in circles for a long time.

Is there a good website for a list of fermentable carbohydrates. The only starchy carb I am consuming is sweet potatoes

Just don't take that stuff. Just say no

Is it true that S. Boulardii sensitizes your gut to histamines?

Ive had bad bloating with discomfort from a 30 billion probiotic. From taking nothing to that maybe too high and upset the system. Gonna try another route

I've had IBS for as long as I can remember. Wanted to start a healthy gut protocol, so I starting taking probiotics, and used the brand Seed. Had terrible experience. Same things mentioned here in a lot of the commen. Even now that I have stopped taking them, my stomach is still jacked up. My gut went back to normal for a bit, but now it's crazy again, and literally anything that I eat if its not meat, my stomach huts. I'm having some tests ran to rule out anything else, but I 100% feel the probiotics messed me up. Any ideas on where to start fixing this situation?

I started making milk kefir and it makes me feel sick, almost like food poisoning. Can you tell me why?

Today is day 3 and man I feel like shit fever body ache and weakness..any one recommended what during this time not really hungry

I’ve been having bloating and acid reflux for awhile. I got some good probiotics from a local health store and took one before supper. A few hours later world war three broke out in my stomach and I was having problems breathing and almost called an ambulance. Some say it takes weeks before it kicks in. I’m not even sure if I’m not lactose intolerant or have Celiac disease. How does a person medically find out what’s wrong with their stomach.

I am taking magnesium and drinking Bailey’s tea which is sort of helping. I just want it to go away entirely I’m really upset with myself and furious at the person who recommended them. More upset at myself for not doing research into this before taking them.

I take a high dose of probiotics all organic. But I’m starting to feel anxious and off. I never knew you could overdose or get horrible side effects from probiotics! Geeze. Now I know why. Ugh! I took 2 capsules today because I thought the bottle I ordered wasn’t very potent because it arrived very hot. So I was worried and thought it would be safe to take 2🤦🏻‍♀️

Taking antibiotics really screwed me up . I was fine until then

If you have histamine reaction..will stopping the probiotics make the reaction go away?

I normally dont directly feel the benefits, except zauerkraut. And it gives me diarrhea

Took some gummy probiotics and wanted to see if that's why I've been running to the restroom for the past two days. Actually had to take a sick day at work.

I'm taking a new digestive enzymes and probiotics and I feel like I'm sick flue type body aches and tierd

Probiotic makes me feel low mood.

I drank kefir probiotic drink the flavored one and I have been constipated for over a month now not to mention gas, stomach cramping. I am not sure what to do. Could it be possible it killed off the good bacteria in my gut.

You explained it very well. God Bless. What are the best things to eat if your are having a probiotics intolerance? Healing from it takes me 2 weeks.

This is just what i was looking for. I've always loved kefir, never had a problem. But i just went on a strong course of antibiotics. I wanted to replace the "good bacteria", so i got a quart of blueberry kefir. I chugged the whole thing in ten minutes. Suddely I doubled over with a cramped stomach. The whole day I was violently ill, with diarhea and vomiting. It's this really the kefir? Crazy!!!

Wife made me start taking them the other day … the horrible smells have already got her second guessing her “encouragement”

Thanks for the great video. I was taking probiotics for a year and a half. Bio X4 to be exact. I started developing severe stomach swelling and couldn’t figure out what it was related to. I am immune deficient and I was taking 60. see The swelling got so severe, and it looks like I was eight months pregnant and I freaked out so much that I stopped them. I also had four episodes of getting extremely sick and rejecting my food. I’ve stopped them five months ago but I still have a little bit of swelling here and there especially when I eat food. It’s gotten to the point where I’m running to doctors because I’m getting really concerned about why this swelling continues to exist and it’s not going fully away. I really hope I haven’t done damage to myself, a lot of these companies are not required to test their products and I think that’s a big no-no if you’re selling dietary supplements. Should I be concerned about this? Have I done horrible damage? Doctors don’t think it’s anything except a case of excess gas but I don’t know. I’ve never taken anything it’s done this and it’s really abnormal

I took probiotics and it made me sick and my bones were in pain.

you need to know the right probiotics for your body some of them can do you good but for someone else can do them worse make sure to get quality ones that are resistant to stomach acid and eat healthy with them no junk food smh

I tossed him some probiotics chewables and I got a terrible stomach ache, I didn't realize, the generally that means it's working. Maybe I'll try quarter chewable tablet next time, I've left it in the fridge, but I heard the dead ones are okay too cuz it feeds the ecosystem in the gut. So apparently we have to first kill off all the bad bacteria before introducing food that's going to feed the bad bacteria so, before doing the asparagus and other leafy greens apparently we're supposed to destroy all the bad bacteria first, I heard fasting a little bit of ketogenics and probiotics, and then later prebiotics which is the food for the good bacteria to eat. I think you mentioned helicobacter pylori you can't kill that thing the medication I trying to use to kill it was a big pharmacist company garbage that nearly killed me I felt like I was going to die, apparently if you have helicobacter it's good because it keeps all other nasty shit, now they try to say that helical will produce cancer over 10 year. But we're going on twenty-five years after the fact I'm still alive, barely LOL. So don't try to kill the helicobacter pylori with Pharmaceuticals the Pharmaceuticals will kill you. Leave it alone feed it and it will protect you. We also have fungi and we have viruses and US. Keep Us Alive without them we would be dead. Benny's good bacteria fungi viruses and other types of microorganisms to stay alive because they keep the nasty ones at Bay to some degree, but today by social distancing or missing the diversity of bacteria by sharing food drinks hugging kissing and all the hand sanitizing is killing off the good bacteria and making us vulnerable to inflammation disease and early death oh, well Bad Blood On Us for years that there's too many of us and our carbon footprint is too much and we are destroying the planet LMAO the way that they have been managing this Charlie 19 virus is killing 20 people needlessly for every single person that actually dies from this Charlie 19 virus. What a joke, depopulation is real folks, take a bite out of reality and face the facts cuz the facts don't care about our feelings, and we're always going to pay the price for not facing the fact.

Was almost through with a run of gastro. Wife told me to take a probiotic, and I've been on the toilet every half hour for 2 days. Hurray for probiotics- the cure worse than the disease.. :P

hey doc... MALTED BARLEY TEA IS MIRACOLOUS... WITH A PINT OF BREWERS YEAST.

I have IBS and most probiotics including fermentation makes me very ill and weak. The GREEN VALLEY YOGURT LACTOSE FREE is my go to probiotics that doesn’t hurt me.

I never had gas like i do before i started probiotics iam going to quit taking them to see if that reduces my gas

Thanks . I only took one and got a headache. My first time but I’m 30. I have bad acid reflux .

Paracasei is a low histamine species

Probiotics gave me chronic constipation….idk what to do

I just took 1 capsule LactoBif 30 billion probiotics today, and damn just after 30 minutes I feel so DIZZY, incredibly dizzy, tingling on my body, headache and a little bit of difficulty breathing. I'm afraid to take another pill tomorrow

Why my probiotic causes esophagitis or laryngitis? I have this sensation of something stuck in my throat after taking probiotic.

I had been drinking kombucha to fix my stomach and I ended up having a panic attack a few days in, I then went on to taking a probiotic for 5-6 days and my anxiety is horrible now. I don't know what to do but if someone has an answer please help

First time watching one of your videos. Who are you looking at?

And bloating

I feel like I have the flu

He speaks a mile a minute!

Holy poop!

It’s die off just take extra virgin olive oil and bang

I have been having a staph infection for over 3 months now and after 2 courses of abx plus using essential oils etc on the boils, I thought I was getting the better of it. Then while I was already on probiotics (over a month and it seemed to work well) I decided to try the B. Subtilis, a spore probiotic that’s been claimed to eat up staph bacteria. Was cautious, just took less than a quarter of the recomm. dosage. After about 10 days, my left arm broke out in a plethora of hideous spots and sores! My face had an increased no. of spots too.🥲. Not sure if I’ve made the correct correlation but sure have paused the spores now. It could have been also due to a great increase of other usual probiotics - about 3x the usual in that period of time as well so that it came to about 400-500 B in total! Took a 3rd round of abx after that and while that stablisied things some, I’m left with many new spots and sores! Wondering how to go about probioitcs now - spores as well. I’ve stopped everything except 1 capsule of L. Reuteri (1 B) which also deals with staph to a degree and has other benefits.
