Acidophilus side effects?

Mackenzie · 07-17-2009, 04:09 PM

I bought some acidophilus probiotic complex tablets to help my yeast infection. I took the first one today and am experiencing bloating and gas (which was listed as some of the side effects). I also noticed a dryness in my mouth about an hour after taking it. Has anyone else experienced this? Dry mouth is not listed as one of the side effects.

No one has experience with this?

I bought the acidophillus pearls from Wal MArt and they gave me diarrhea

Thanks for responding. I didn't get diarrhea from them but I did notice the dry mouth. Do you still take them? Have they helped the yeast infection?

Yes they have helped greatly. I took the advice of someone on this board and insert a capsule for the yeast infection. It cleared up. Stopped doing that and felt it coming back on. Started again and it is better again. I also take them by mouth 3 2x per day. I also use Nutrition Now Yeast Defense.

I think I "imagined" the dry mouth and decided to try them again. I'm taking GNC acidophilus probiotic complex 3 times a day and I've noticed a great improvement!

The rash under my breast looks a lot better and the itching is not nearly as bad. I'm sharing in the hopes it helps someone else.

I got bloating and diarrhea when I started. Your body adjusts after a while.

Never heard about inserting them for yeast infections. I've only had 1 infection in my life, but omg, that was 1 too many! What a terrible experience. If it ever surfaces again I will definately try inserting the capsule.
How far in do you insert?

I think I do better with different strains than others. Bifidus - I'm fine. Acidophilus - gave me some really painful heartburn. Couldn't stick with it long enough to see if it would resolve itself!!
