I tried taking VSL3 and it seemed to have the reverse effects on me. It caused loose bm's, urgency, gas etc. I'm pretty sure it was the VSL because I tried taking it twice. Once for several weeks....stopped for several weeks....tried it again, and again went back to very loose frequent stools.

Has anyone else had this type of reaction? I just figured i might be the small percentage that is allergic to probiotics....or possibly I was taking a too high of a dose?

Thanks!

My guess is that it was just too much probiotic for you. I was on antibiotics a couple of weeks ago, and quadrapuled my normal dose. It didn't cause diarrhea, but I had horrific gas!

That's not uncommon. You need to give your body a chance to adjust.

Thanks for the info.

I was using the max dose...and for months i never adjusted. Maybe I should try a lower dose and see how it goes...but I'm scared!

thanks again!
