Probiotics Information And Side Effects
By Christopher MandallThere are not really many side effects [normally] associated with probiotics.
The side effects have not really been scientifically studied so it is hard to say if some side effects are more common than other side effects while using probiotics. It is reported that side effects are a rare occurrence when taking probiotics.
Abdominal discomfort is one of the most common side effects that is reported when using probiotics.
People sometimes report feeling bloating after taking probiotics. Bloating happens when the digestive process produces excess gas. Feeling extremely full is a sign of bloating. Pain in the abdominal region is another side effect that users report while using probiotics. People need to see their doctor if they experience any kind of abdominal discomfort after they use the supplement.
Not only are abdominal pains and bloating some of the reported side effects, but headaches are also commonly reported side effects of using probiotics. People who suffer from headaches after using probiotics should lower their dosage. Some people say that their headaches go away once their body becomes used to taking the probiotics supplement. People should contact their doctor if their headaches do not get better over time or if the headaches become severe.
Some reports of probiotics say that a small number of people should not take the supplement because they could become more prone to catching infections, mainly fungal infections. Sometimes the infections can happen more often due to the immune system being compromised. Intestinal infections are other types of infections that can occur as a result of taking probiotics. Anybody who gets symptoms of infection after taking the supplement should call their doctor.
Diarrhea has been reported as one of the side effects of using probiotics. Diarrhea has not been a commonly reported side effect and probiotics are also used to treat diarrhea.
Skin rashes are rare when using a probiotic supplement but rashes have been reported in some cases.
A person who experiences any abnormal changes in their body after taking probiotics should contact their doctor and make an appointment to see them.
Side effects are quite rare when using probiotics but they do happen once in a while.
Probiotics Supplements
Probiotics supplements are sold in many different places. A lot of probiotics supplements come in pill form, but sometimes the supplements may come in liquid form too but pill form is the most common form the probiotics come in. Powder form is also a popular form that it comes in. The powder is simply stirred into a drink such as water and then consumed by drinking it.
Probiotics supplements are made by many manufacturers [such as Shaklee Optiflora. Research on companies and manufacturers of probiotics is needed when a person decides to buy the supplement because some probiotic supplements may be better than others as some manufacturers may use slightly different ingredients than other manufacturers.
Many manufacturers will make their own recommendations on when to take the probiotics supplements. However, most companies recommend taking probiotics supplements before breakfast with a glass of water. After taking it, a person should wait around twenty minutes before eating because this will help a person get the full benefits of the supplement. The probiotics supplements should not be taken within three hours of consuming an antibiotic.
Almost every single company will recommend taking probiotics right around meal time, most likely breakfast time.
Side effects are usually mild but there are rare cases where the supplement has been linked to major side effects.
Probiotics Benefits
There are many positive benefits of taking probiotics. There are some reports that say that one of the benefits of consuming probiotics is an enhanced immune system response. Sometimes antibiotics can cause negative side effects but probiotics can reduce those negative side effects.
A lot of people experience colon inflammation after a surgery. Probiotics actually helps treating the inflammation as well as preventing it.
Eczema is a nuisance for many people but youths can take measures to prevent eczema. Eczema is a nasty rash that can cause severe itching. The skin condition is something that is very hard to treat. However, one of the measures that can be taken to treat eczema is probiotics supplements. Eczema prevention is one of the benefits of taking it.
