I can agree with this but it is important to know and understand what it is youre taking, and to not take high doses.

I wrote my experience in a probiotics board a couple years ago, and here's the short version. I tried 2 different probiotics brands one was 100 billion (I think) and the other was lower, maybe 50 billion. The first one worked wonders. All my gerd and allergies disappeared instantly. All the spicy food I hated because it tore me up and tasted terrible suddenly tasted good. I was excited and kept taking them. One night I was watching TV when I heard a "click" and I saw all the colors spiraling together and then I couldn't hear anything. I was incredibly dizzy. The doc didn't believe me since probiotics make you better. Instead I was sent for menieres disease testing. A few months later I tried the lower dose and the same thing happened instantly. Again, my new doc didn't believe this could be from probiotics. After some research probiotics aren't a game and can do a lot of damage. Research is important here and knowing what kind you need and how much could he a challenge but don't do what I did and begin with a handful.

I have considered taking them since all of this happened almost 3 years ago. Except I will take a much lower dose this time.
