The human gut is a deep reservoir of hundreds of thousands of organisms, both good and bad and probiotics are those few friendly microorganisms that do more good than harm to your body...most of the time.... Probiotics not only assist in digestion, but also destroy the dangerous bacteria in your intestines. What's more, probiotics if used properly can help boost the balance of intestinal microflora in your gut and have been therapeutically used to treat a host of digestive and other ailments. However, there is a downside to these friendly bacteria as well. To discover more on the down side and possible side effects of probiotics,

Risks Of Probiotics ...Really?
Overuse of any substance causes problems. Overuse of probiotics causes "habitation" or resistance....possibly when you need them most....
The human body simply put stops recognizing nutrients or supplements that are available too often. Familiarity breeds contempt...apparently one of the laws of the Universe. Overuse manifests as no use at all, often.
One of the biggest risks of probiotics is to your pocketbook as the vast majority of OTC products do not implant properly in the gut and therefore only live a matter of hours.
-
Agreed, regular consumption of friendly ‘probiotics' like yogurt and acidophilus milk if you tolerate dairy can offer some people relief against lactose intolerance or occasional constipation and even ameliorate flatulence and bloating. However, in some cases, probiotics set off their own adverse reactions and can cause severe digestive problems cramps and bloating and even inflammation if not handled properly.
-
Although probiotics are known to aid digestion, help a leaky gut and even boost body immunity, consuming probiotics in excess can trigger severe abdominal cramps in some cases. People with poor immune systems may be intolerant to probiotics and they might cause them more harm than good. People with autoimmune problems should not treat themselves with probiotics as they can worsen their conditions.
-
People with impaired immune systems are also at a high risk of developing fungal infections. In such cases, it is best to choose a probiotics strain that is best suited for your health based on proper testing which I do frequently.
-
Although probiotics are consumed to defend the digestive system from the incursions of harmful bacteria, at times probiotic intolerance might lead to overstimulation of the immune system. In addition to aggravating the autoimmune responses of the body, probiotics may also disrupt the normal metabolic processes in the body.
-
A rare but life-threatening side effect of consuming probiotics is intestinal infection. People with underlying diseases or compromised immune systems like those suffering from AIDS or patients undergoing chemotherapy suffer the risk of acquiring intestinal infections after consuming probiotics. Some of the common symptoms of intestinal infections are fever, skin rashes, and bloody stools.
-
People who have just started using a GOOD probiotic often complain of a mild, dizzying headache during the first few days. However, decreasing the probiotics dosage has been found to deal with the situation effectively.
-
Apart from intestinal and fungal infections, probiotics have been known to bring on large numbers of bacterial and yeast infections that can be only cured with antibiotics.
-
Medical studies conducted reveal that probiotics might interact with immunosuppressive drugs triggering life-threatening complications. People who are on immunosuppressive medications should therefore strictly stay away from ingesting probiotics.
Although clinical trials have confirmed that probiotics Can be good for the body, not all types of probiotics are suited for all and have may their own pitfalls, with flatulence, bloating and infections being some of the recurrent side effects of probiotics.
