Are there any side effects to probiotics?
Side effects are not common and are temporary but may appear initially. They generally are gas and boating. Occasionally someone may experience some mild cramping as the intestinal lining sloughs off the thick buildup of sludge that can coat the intestinal lining and impede the villi, hair like structures that are responsible for nutritional uptake and digestive flow. Starting out with a lower dose and slowly building up to the recommended dose usually prevents side effects.
