Transcript

Are there any probiotic side effects? So time and again, it has been shown that probiotics are very safe to use. Several research studies have been conducted to see if probiotics are safe or not. And they all show that probiotics are not only safe to use in adults, but probiotics are very safe to be used in children also. Now there are certain things that I always recommend my clients to keep in mind when they’re using probiotics. The first thing to keep in mind is that certain probiotics and in certain people, these probiotics can cause bloating or they can feel gassy after taking the probiotics. Now, the possible reasons might be that the probiotics might be too strong for your system or your body might not be ready for these strong probiotics. The second thing is that if you are very, very sick, or if you have an immunocompromised condition, then it is always important to talk to your doctor, whether you can use probiotics or not.

The third thing to remember is that it is always a good idea to use probiotics from a good quality source and a good quality company. The reason being these probiotics can be contaminated with bad bacteria, or these probiotics might have fillers in them or certain ingredients which are harmful for your body and they can have those side effects. So by using probiotics from a good quality source, we can prevent from any further damage that they might cause to your body. So you see, time and again, it has been shown that probiotics are very safe to not only be used in adults, but also safe to use in children also.
