Probiotics Dosage

Hello All,

Recently i started taking probiotics which contains more than 2 billion active cultures.
I started one pill every night.
Now i started taking 2 , one in the morning and one in the evening.
I want to know if taking more probiotics will there be any problems or side effects if we are taking more probiotics?
When i asked my docter about the brand, he said he don't know specific one.
So i bought one from Walgreens.
Please advise?

Thanks in advance

Thanks pb4

But i would like to know if excessive usage of probiotics can harm us or create any side effects?

Thanks in advance

Hello Happy living!  I am currently taking probiotics 50 billion 3 times a day because I started flaring last week, well this week has been a huge improvement hardly any blood, no mucus, but still loose BM's so hopefully this will improve in the weeks ahead.  I find no discomfort when I increase my dosage  I alternate between Bio-Kplus liquid and Flora probiotics capsules each brand has 50 billion per dose.  Its definately worth a try.  I'm still on my regular meds as well.

I take what my bottle says which is 2 a day, I take them together with food.

When I started Culturelle HS, I noticed some bloating and gas which went away within a couple of days. It doesn't hurt me, but I'm not sure it is helping,

When I started VSL#3, I noticed bloating and gas also which again went away within a couple of days. I've only recently started it, but I dare say I am seeing some benefit.

If you are worried about how a probiotic will affect you, you can gradually move up to the dose that you want to take assuming it's not a once a day deal. With the VSL#3, I started with 1 a day and moved up from there to the 8 a day I am currently at.

Also, about Primadophilus Reuteri by Nature's Way which pb4 mentions, there is also a version that does not have to be refrigerated in addition to the refrigerated version mentioned in pb4's post. You can see a full list of their probiotics on their website: www.naturesway.com/?mid=4
