hi all- i just started taking a new probiotic supplement and i've been experiencing diahrrea and stomach cramps. is this normal? does it take a while for the body to adjust to probiotics? i used to take jarrowdophilus and had no problems, but i'm thinking the new supplement i'm on is much more potent. also the jarrow doesnt state that it makes it past the stomach acid where the one i'm on now does. any thoughts?

"I'm thinking the new supplement I'm on is much more potent"

How much are you taking? Its always good to start with the smallest dosage when trying something new. Even if its just a new brand of something you've already been taking. Like you said they could be more potent. Ether more of them per dose or a stronger, hardier strain. Some probiotic also have other ingredients in them. One from twinlabs called Yeast fighters has probiotics and other ingredients to help kill off the yeast in your intestines.
