852 – What Probiotic Side Effects Mean—And How to Fix Them

Are your probiotic side effects a positive sign, or should you make a modification? 

It’s all too common that when people take a probiotic and experience some kind of side effect, they take it to mean that probiotics aren’t right for them. And that’s understandable.

But more often than not, these side effects can be signaling something good (that they’re going to work in your gut) or simply that a small adjustment needs to be made. 

Here’s how to know which side effects mean what.
