Anyone have problems with probiotics?

An interesting thing happened yesterday. I forgot to take my probiotics at night before bed. I woke up with no urgency and had the best BM in years this morning. I took the probiotics this morning and starting feeling nauseated and sick a few hours later. I ended up having several bloody BMs shortly thereafter.

Coincidence? I'm going to skip my probiotic for a few days to see what happens.

(Note that I am currently taking Natren but stopped taking VSL #3 because it was upsetting my symptoms.)

To me..coincidence.

But, not all probiotics would agree, and during the day, they could give more gas...at least for me.

If you bleed, you're flaring.

Did you use the suppositories last night?


If you're using the steroid supps continually for a long time, it's possible they can thin the lining and possibly making the area a bit more friable.

Hi Xtra....

Don't know which Natren probiotic you are taking...but if it's the Natren's Healthy Trinity, it has to be taken with food. I've taken it before on an empty stomach and didn't fare well at all. Called the company to find out what was wrong with their stuff. And I was told that the Healthy Trinity is the one brand they have that does have to be taken with food. I'm fine with it now.

just the cost, it's my only problem
