Too much probiotic?

There are billions (maybe trillions?) of bacteria living in our guts, so I think it would be extremely hard to take too much, considering most products out there only have a couple billion in them and who knows how many of those are still living by the time they make it to your system. I take two probiotics per day, plus yogurt and sometimes probiotic drinks, too. Is the Align helping you? I was thinking about trying it.

No possibility you could over do it. There are over 60 trillion bacteria in the gut. I doubt anybody is doing enough honestly. If it is a major bacterial problem that causes this I doubt that anyone is taking nearly enough proiotics to make a substantial difference. I would take as many as possible.

If you somehow take too much good bacteria then from what I've read the body just eliminates what it doesn't need. No issues.

It takes a lot of poor eating and poor food choice to cause the bad bacteria to dominate. By the same token it must equally take a long time to re-establish the good bacteria and create balance. So I don't think there is ever an issue of overdoing it with probiotics.

If I hit my system too hard with alot of probiotics all at once, I'll often get diarrhea for a day or two but then things usually take a turn for the better. Ultimately, I think high doses are good for us UC'ers.
