Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | HELP! Probiotics Bad????

OK - When my IBS started in June (I think from a round of really strong antibiotics) I took several months of good probiotics. Well, now I'm starting to have more good days than bad, but still not happy - so I decided to get some more probiotics and start taking them - I got some FloraSmart from Renew Life and took the first one last night. This morning I woke up and I think I'm getting a fever blister - I HAVE NEVER EVER HAD ONE! and also feeling like I may be trying to get a yeast infection, which I hadn't had in YEARS! So my question is could the probiotics maybe set this off? I read on one of the posts that if you have candida issues, then probiotics could make it worse. What can I do to help??? I also bought some black walnut tiniture (I read on a post that it is supposed to get rid of bad bacteria) so I bought both yesterday, but now I'm really scared about taking anything. To add insult to injury - I had lunch out yesterday and triggered a bad D attack - so I'm recovering from that too. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!
