i dont understand. seriously. the first time i noticed this was when i used to eat yogurt. any form of yogurt.. dannon, yoplait, etc makes my intestines feel weird and bloaty and i thought it was the dairy. then ive tried a Jarrow probiotics and it makes my intestines to bloat up. It was the lower (small) intestines. Now ive changed to healthy trinity which has 20 billion of bifido and 10 of lactobaccillus and my large intestine is bloated HUGE. it never fully goes away but it gets huge and uncomfortable and causes pain in my rib cage and liver area whenever i eat a meal. This recent bloating in the large intestine started when i started taking the healthy trinity but even when im off of it for 2 days its still there so... what is it?!
is it possible that the good bacteria is causing some serious die off or is it some bad reaction. my mom gets the bloating too but not as bad. Lab results from Genova show lower levels of bifido and overgrowth of klebsiella.... any connection? If it is a bacterial overgrowth, how long do i have to take this stupid probiotic before the die off gets better? its driving me crazy...!

It could be several things. Here are some things to try:
1. Soothe the intestinal lining by taking 1 teaspoon of slippery elm powder (make a tea) twice a day
2. Lack of stomach acid is a likely cause - take some betaine hcl with each meal - or some ACV or lemon juice in water ... or some digestive bitters ... or a combination of all of those. Also, drink peppermint and ginger tea to help with digestion.
3. Do some liver work - milk thistle, lecithin, castor oil packs etc.
4. Chill out a little - sit quietly for a couple of minutes before you eat and do some deep breathing (in and out of the nose) ... release all tension before eating anything.
5. Chew every mouthful very carefully and eat in a quiet setting. Consider taking some digestive enzymes as well with each meal.
Do as much of those as you can and then restart the probiotics after 1 week.
Best wishes

There is a strong school of thought that probiotics feed parasites and that if you have a negative reaction taking probiotics you might consider that.
I always felt worse taking probiotics and I found I had a parasite: dientamoeba fragilis. The http://www.badbugs.org
website informed me that many people with this parasite had issues taking probiotics. Interestingly, when I took Antibiotics for DF I found I could tolerate bio-acidophilus afterwards. It just didn't seem to do anything much so I stopped taking it.
I have taken Threelac (terrible for me), Bio-acidophilus, and home brewed Sauerkraut
One other thing: There was a BBC programme last year on probiotics. Of a study of 21 people taking probiotics for 3 weeks there were very varied results. Some people felt good, some people felt nothing and some people actually had a bad reaction and tested positive to Para-cresol which is made by Clostridium. ie in those people the probiotic encouraged the bad bags.
The conclusion was that people react probiotics completely differently. One probiotic might suit you whilst another doesn't. One of the professors said "By taking probiotics you are interfering with an ecology that has evolved in humans what we don't fully understand"

This is a reply to # 1,516,723Interesting. So how do you diagnose or find out that you have a parasite that feeds on the probiotics? I have gotten a stool test and they haven't detected a parasite (done by Genova). The other option I have heard was that its die off of bad bacteria and someone told me to hold out for 2-4 weeks to see if it gets better eventually. I'm not sure what to do exactly. parasites are something i have not looked into really bc i never thought it was a problem.

Genova is a reputable lab so if you tested clear you should be ok. Did you do 3 samples in 3 containers over 3 days? Was there fixative in the pots?
I have to say I first tested positive for entamoeba coli (not to be confused with e.coli and not supposed to be harmful). Then I ate lots of pumpkin seeds and took Grapefruit-Seed-Extract etc. and was quite confident I was clear. I tested again a few months later at the full moon only to find I was positive to both entamoeba coli and dientamoeba fragilis. Somebody had told me parasites "shed" at the full moon and it was a good time to test and treat them.
