Probiotic side effects

[TerrysNo2]

Hi all

I started taking Probiotic 10 from Holland and Barrett 3 days ago and since yesterday I have had a horrible headache, backache and I feel shivery. I couldn't sleep last night and I feel awful.

Does anyone know if this could be the probiotics or if its just a co-incidence? If it is the probiotics I'm not sure if its my body's way of detoxifying and therefore I should keep taking them or if I should stop?

Any advice / experience appreciated!

I have been taking them for over fifty days now because I was suffering from more and more bacterial infections and have had NO side effects at all, other then having no infections.! I think its perhaps a coincidence!

Yes, you can get detox side effects from probiotics as they are meant to clear out the toxic bacteria and yeast living in the gut. Often the advice is to ramp the dose up over time balancing it with how much discomfort you can put up with. It's not a quick fix.
My ds even had skin rash and fungal infections near the areas with lymph nodes (feet, armpits, groin) but it all eventually cleared up.
I would keep taking them but maybe spread them out in time.

Doc says its flu!
