Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I was told that taking the same pro biotic for a long period (ex. over 3mos or so) of time is not good. Anyone hear of this? Thanks, Genevive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 What was the reason given? I have been taking acidophilus, bifidus, and a full-spectrum probiotic for 12 years, and I've never had any issues. I would be interested to know what this person meant by that.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 All they said to me was did you know that pro biotics shouldn't be taken for long periods of time. I don't know where they go their info from. So I thought I'd check into it.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I did some research, cause I have been eating yogurt everyday for at least 8 years. They are ok, just dont overdo. Heres what I found: People who are immunosuppressed should seek medical advice before using probiotics. It is possible that the probiotic itself may cause a serious infection. One death was reportedly linked to probiotic use in a person taking immunosuppressant medication. Probiotics' side effects, if they occur, tend to be mild and digestive (such as gas or bloating). More serious effects have been seen in some people. Probiotics might theoretically cause infections that need to be treated with antibiotics, especially in people with underlying health conditions. They could also cause unhealthy metabolic activities, too much stimulation of the immune system, or gene transfer (insertion of genetic material into a cell). --- On Sun, 1/25/09, Jenifer <genevive32 wrote: Jenifer <genevive32 Re: Re: New question about pro biotics Sunday, January 25, 2009, 12:02 PM All they said to me was did you know that pro biotics shouldn't be taken for long periods of time.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Carol, May I know why are you taking full-spectrum Probiotics for last 12 years? Just my academic interest! Has anybody prescribed? For what reason? You can mail me if you dont wish to write in forum. Please just for my interest/knowledge.
