escherichia Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 So, I had an infected insect bite that needed antibiotics *sigh* a couple of weeks ago. I've been hit and miss with the probiotics, but took one last night and had to come home from the shops today (without all I needed) as I had a really poorly tummy. Got home and diarrhoea... It's like when I used to have IBS before going low carb/paleo. Now, I'm unsure if it's something that I've eaten or if it's the probiotics. What's the likelihood it the probiotics? FWIW, I also had diarrhoea when I started the course of antibiotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted September 21, 2012 Moderators Share Posted September 21, 2012 I tend to have diarrhea every time I begin to take probiotics. With some I get past the diarrhea after a few days, with some I give up before the diarrhea stops. Maybe the longest I went before stopping was 7 days. When I first began drinking kombucha, which is a probiotic, I had diarrhea for 2 days and then everything was better. I drink kombucha every day now.

escherichia Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 Yes, I have kombucha and water kefir, but as they both have added sugar, I wasn't taking them during my whole 30 (hence the probiotic capsule). I haven't ate anything that would tend to give me a bad reaction though (eggs, but I don't usually react to them), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escherichia Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 I've had tea and I think I must have some kind of bug (due to having the antibiotics) as I've had the cramps and diarrhoea again :-( Ah well, it'll soon be out of my system!
