bloating probiotics

I recently took a dose of probiotic and experienced severe abdominal cramping, bloating and pain for over 6 hours and the next day I continued to have a burning pain in my back on the right side. Based on this reaction should I continue to take the probiotic's?

I took Saccharomyces boulardii (aka S. boulardii). Kitty above describes it as a 'very beneficial yeast.' What the labels and the MDs don't tell you though is that like any yeast, in the wrong environment, the yeast can colonize your body, and set you up with a super sized yeast infection of your body/system. S.boulardii is relatively recent in the US but has been used in Europe for longer, and the medical literature is beginning to show reports of problems esp over there.

Possibly. When I first started taking probiotics I produced enough gas to 'power Los Angeles,' or at least that was what it felt like. It subsided over a few days and since then I've been fine with them. I chalked it up to the good (the probiotics) were fighting the evil (whatever was in my system) and awaited the 'end of the war.' Having said that, understand one brand may not be the best choice for all individuals.

Any tips on how to keep the gas under control? I eat pretty well.... I eat plenty of fiber and have probiotics, drink plenty of water... But even so my BMs are not perfectly regular.

I guess I am one of the ones who will get the bloating and gas from probiotics...joy!...I am seeing my doctor regarding the reaction and UTI recurrences. I am reluctant to take antibiotics anymore with the resultant diarrhea....

It bothered me the entire time I took it. I gradually had bloating, distention of the stomach and tingling, numbness and a 'cold' sensation started later on. This hasn't gone away and has only improved about 30% since taking probiotics and eating a lot of fermented foods and coconut yogurt with live cultures. The Kevita probiotic drinks help the most. I have a 'lazy colon' and it's usually challenging to get the urge to have a bowel movement but now it's even worse!

fiber supplements, laxatives, apple cider vinegar, and probiotics--only the probiotics seem to have had any effect, and that's barely. Please help!! *I've included a photo of what my stomach looks like first thing in the morning vs.

I went off of it due to the fact that I was bloating and my stool was loose(no diarrhea) and off colored. My doctor told me to take probiotics and if need be start taking the antibiotics again in 2 weeks. I've been taking probiotics since December 12th and the problem still persists. What could be wrong? I thought that maybe I might be lactose intolerant, but I wasn't before? This is super frustrating. I don't want to deal with it anymore! Please help.

I also take probiotics and I believe the first time I took the probiotics that it helped digestive problems. Try taking the Pepto Bismol tablets (four tablets every six hours) and see if it helps. When I feel like I'm having a flare up, I take the tablets for a couple of days, and it seems to help. Oddly enough, it's the Pepto that kills the h phlori not the antibiotics. If you try this, you must use the Pepto tablets not the liquid. It might be worth a try.

) and it feels soooooo uncomfortable. I drink a ton of water, I take probiotics and drink apple cider vinegar, eat fiber, I take miralax almost every other day to combat constipation, and I try to eat small meals instead of big ones. None of it helps. I even limit my gluten intake and I'm already lactose intolerant so I don't eat dairy. It's just so bad! I'm going to ask my dr what to do when I go there next week. If you figure out the solution let me know! Good luck!

Yes both oral contraceptives and antibiotics can cause abdominal bloating. Take probiotics and see. If the bloating is due to antibiotics, it will settle down. If not, change your OCP and see. If still you do not benefit, then other causes will need to be looked at.

According to tests, I have gotten it out of my system, but the symptoms are still there (bloating, belching, gas). I read online that probiotics can help with those symptoms, so I took some. I had reactions to taking pills, so then I drank kefir and had similar reactions. Finally, I tried recently taking less amounts of kefir (tablespoon a day).

Is there anything I can take to reduce the bloating? Why is there bloating? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/886787'>Laxative Withdrawals</a>.

I've had some bloating, gas, minor diarrhea for almost a month and now nausea and vomiting last day or two. I have a doctor's appointment on Monday. I am very nauseous right now and I am not sure if I should wait it out or go to ER. Wife says I should go, but I am not sure if ER would be able to help me without admitting me to the hospital. I don't feel like being admitted. Anyway, do you think I should wait to see the Doc in 5 days or go to ER? Does this sound dangerous?

Bowel movements vary from diarrhea to slender solids. Constant bloating, cramping and discomfort. I have been told to take probiotics and my omeprazole which do nothing. Had an ultrasound to rule out the liver, pancreas ect..... Its super frustrating but you just learn to live with it I guess...

I have had numerous tests in the past two months including an ultra sound, CAT scan, upper and lower GI, camera pill, and even had my gall bladder removed. All tests come back normal. I have extreme anxiety and severe bloating and nausea daily. I can poop usually once or twice a day, but stools are dark and sticky or totally liquid. My doctor wants to put me on anti-depressants, but I am not depressed.

My bowel movements have mostly returned to normal, but I now experience almost daily severe bloating. It is most frequent in the mornings and very uncomfortable. I thought that the antibiotics I was given might have negatively affected my gut bacteria (especially because I had done a 10 day course of antibiotics for strep throat a month before my appendectomy) so I have been taking probiotics for the last two weeks. The probiotics do not seem to have helped much.

Hi everyone, I had a colonoscopy about 4 months ago and in short everything came out normal. Pretty much straight after my colonoscopy I started to experience pain and bloating in my stomach and kidney area. I thought this was just the after affect of the operation and it would settle down after a few days. Well it's been over 4 months now and I'm in so much discomfort. I have gone back for CT Scans and X Ray's and everything looks normal apparently.

I have these symptoms and i'm trying to get to the bottom of this!! So far i've been diagnosed with Small intestinal Bacteria overgrowth and large and small intestine imotility (not at full function). That is all the doctor diagnosed... now the bacteria from the small intestine overgrowth FEED on food you eat and expel gases that circulate through your bloodstream and to your lungs. This also leads to leaky gut and constipation because the gas slows down bowel transit time.

For the past 7 months, I've been having this constant bloating/gurgling on the left side only. The loud sloshing sound can be heard when pressed on or just breathing deeply. The discomfort feels like a knot of gas stuck in that area 24/7. I also have acid reflux, though not sure if it's related to the lower bloating issues. Upper endoscopy, colonoscopy, CT, gastric emptying were OK. None of the medications tried help much: bentyl, rifaximen, zoloft, probiotics, ibgard, miralax, etc.

For the last 3 years, have had extreme bloating, not PMS bloating, but bloating and looking like I am 9 months pregnant. I eat very little and bloat immediately. I bloat no matter what type of food I eat, it doesn't matter. No one can find the answer. Last summer, I had an emergency appendectomy. While performing that operation, they noticed that my small intestine was blocked, so they took out a foot of my intestine.

Also have had burping even after drinking water- not a large amount of water.Has any one tried probiotics, to help with the excessive belching? This evening, I started belching after going to the ymca and it was so extreamly humid and hot, my belly started bloating excessively. I don't think I was swallowing air, but it was deffinately going in my abdomin.It made me feellike I couldn't breath tell I got the very large belches out.

And Prebiotics are nondigestible carbohydrates that act as food for probiotics. Probiotics are found in foods such as yogurt, while prebiotics are found in whole grains, bananas, onions, garlic, honey and artichokes. A combination of two in a healthy diet is beneficial. Try this. Regards.

Probiotics helped me. I drank kefir and ate bio yoghurt.

I still have some nausea and the bloating continues no matter what I eat. Most of the time I am bloated and it just gets worse when I eat anything. I have also gained 5 pounds since the surgery and continue to have irregular BMs. The real problems before the surgery, were bloating (which seems to be worse) and LOTS of belching and gas. I'm told that it takes the body a while to realize that the gallbaldder is not there anymore and for these symptoms to subside.

Hi! Actually for the last year i have been doing alot research about the gallbladder,IBS, & candida. I found most of the time people have acid reflux is because we are lacking good bacteria (probiotics) & when that happends that lets bad bacteria & yeast(candida) grow & get out of control. Then when that happends you can start to get all kind symptoms like acid reflux,bloating,cramps,constipation,etc.

Then when that happends you can start to get all kind symptoms like acid reflux,bloating,cramps,constipation,etc. When you add the probiotics back into your body it helps to crowd out the yeast & bad bacteria & repopulate your digestive tract with the good guys probiotics but anytime you add probiotics back into your body you wanna do it slowly. Or else you can get alot die off symptoms from the yeast dying.
