I started taking two acidophilus pills plus eating one soy yogurt a day all at the same time. I ended up with crazy diarrhea but am not sure if it was caused by this or something else-
Does anyone know about this? I am a probiotic newbie!
The ingredients look ok. Sometimes they use FOS as a filler in probiotics and it can give some people problems. If you are tyically IBS-D it might be possible but not likely that the beet fiber could cause D.
Are you typically IBS-C, IBS-D or IBS-A? Are you still taking the probiotics? Has the D stopped? Are you taking the probiotic with a SF base and not on an empty stomach? Out of curiousity what is the brand name of the probiotic you are taking?

I am IBS-A, but with a tendency towards D. I stopped taking them the end of last week and the D is there, but not as bad. I am NOT taking the probiotic on a full stomach- I take it with my pills in the morning on an empty stomach.. does that make a big difference? The brand name is BioFutures.
I think it is always wise to take probiotics with a good base of SF. The probiotics you are taking contain beet fiber as a filler which is mostly IF. It might be best to take them when you eat breakfast.
I couldn't find a url a web page to any probiotics made by BioFutures.

I stopped using the Bio Futures pills and just started taking the "pearls" and was still having more diarrhea than ever before. I finally stopped the pearls and now I'm back to being more constipated, which I guess is better than horrible D. I'm stumped.
