My guess is that it's the probiotics. Increased gas and bloat is common.
Just FYI, I had a bad time with Primal Defense. I tried increasing the dosage and it made my stomach hurt terribly. I also had tons of BMs. I guess it could be some sort of cleansing, but with me it never stopped. Plus the fact that I'd been on it for quite a while made me less likely to believe that I'd still be cleansing that long. All it did was make me feel worse so I gave up on it.
My advice would be that if you don't feel better soon, scrap the stuff and try something else. Primal Defense is so expensive and I've read a lot of articles lately about Jordan Rubin's stuff and how it's not all it's cracked up to be. He's even been warned by the FDA to stop touting Primal Defense as such a potent probiotic. Apparently, it doesn't contain all the levels of probiotics it claims.
All my other experiences with other probiotics have been about the same. I get increased gas the first week and a bit of bloating. It all subsides after that and I have no side effects.
If you like the Primal Defense though, let me know. I have nearly a full bottle left that I'd gladly send you:)
