      hi Dr. I started to have symptoms of gastritis immediately after starting a very strong probiotic. i was diagnosed with gastritis about 5 months later and i’m still suffering. would the probiotics cause this? i also found out i have very low WBC and RBC counts low iron and low b12. i’m vegetarian.

      because we know very little about the gut microbiome, how do we know we cannot take to much, or taking over 10 billion is to much?

    I take the “garden of life”probiotics for woman and I swear by them. I have never felt so good…I went a month without them to see if they really made me feel better or if it was in my head and I felt horrible..starting taking them again and within a week I was feeling so much better. Just feels like I can think clearer, I’m less depressed, it regulates me using the bathroom and my over all health feels so much better, I seem to have more energy but not nervous energy like I normally felt..I’ve taken some brands and they didn’t seem to give me the benefits of the garden of life brand and I’m not sure why or what was different. But I swear by probiotics because they definitely work well for my body.

    Advice from someone who does sound editing:
    You want to use a levelator on your videos FYI. Makes the quite parts and loud parts equally as loud in a balanced sort of way. You can still have loud and quite after you use a levelator but they are not TOO loud or TOO quiet.

    My 3.5 yo son broke into the pantry and climbed the shelves and got into the children's chocolate flavoured pro biotics and ate the whole bottle. It's been about two months and hes still not quite right ... Bloated, constipated to the point of serious discomfort and just not himself. And it seems to have all been from this episode... I'm worried after increasing fruit and vege and fibre filled foods and water intake he still seems to be struggling... Is it related or a coincidence? I'm unsure what to do :/

      Definity affected his gut microbiome, maybe try to message some of the functional doctors on Instagram, they can be very helpful. Wait to increase fiber intake as this can make the problem worse if done too soon. Hopefully his gut microbiome can balance itself given time, but I would try to get help from a functional doctor.

    If I stop taking the probiotics I go back to bloating. So bad So It has done me good for the pass month the product I take is Culturelle. The first product I took was HEB probiotic. It did ok but my dr recommend the Culturelle. I can not see about mood or anything else in general because I am a natural Energizer Bunny. But as for bloating it works special with the 30 pounds I gained in a period of 6 years. But it does work on removing inches as well !😊
