Syl, if you would weigh in on this, would appreciate it.
Is it possible to overdo, taking Probiotics. Am taking a Probiotic drink called Good Belly Big Shot, that my GI doc recommended, in addition to a probiotic capsule with lunch.
Is there a risk of too much of a good thing, or does the natural "friendly" flora need to be replaced at such a fast rate that it doesn't matter?

I have never heard of ill effects take more than a recommended daily dose of a probiotic
