Studies find some probiotics can be harmful to gut health

[@lp3960]

I'm so sick and tired of all the conflictive information.

[@Classicbeauty857]

They need to regulate the doctors here on KZbin.

[@Cwgrlup]

If I have stomach pain from antibiotic medication or something I ate, probiotics help tremendously.

[@StratospheralNurse]

That’s different because the antibiotic kills off large numbers of your gut micro biome, so the probiotic is helping restore what was removed. Whereas, if you are taking them without need, you can disrupt what was already working. Kinda like taking too many vitamins when your vitamin counts aren’t low.

[@phyllisjones2576]

You guys have a bad habit of publicizing "New Studies" before those studies have met peer review. Until they have passed the peer review process, they are theories at best. You are not doing your viewers a service by doing this. In fact, you're doing them a great disservice.

[@AuNTIeGreen]

Not all peer review are good either and there was a study on that that was peer reviewed... consensus of scientists on pseudoscience has become mainstream and detrimental to everyone and everything!

There's different types of probiotics, it would be more helpful if they were specific about the strains.

[@davediamond7228]

i agree.. probably stay away from the man made supplements and eat a good yogurt...you can make your own fermented cabbage (i buy kim Chee locally) and eat cheese ... Swiss, provolone, Gouda, cheddar, Edam, , and cottage cheese.

[@bwasem]

They definitely need to elaborate on specific research and what strains are causing disruption.

[@krazykanos98]

What they're trying to say is that taking too much of a particular strain will ruin the bioDIVERSITY in your gut. So they're generally beneficial, but only if taken in moderation. Don't overdose! And your body is exceedingly good at recovering. Don't overdo the probiotics when recovering from antibiotics. I've made that mistake with yoghurt and it gave me crazy bad stomach issues. Glad to say my body's recovered now 😊

[@lmmalnory]

Also, studies have shown that The food we eat today is not at all the same quality of nutrients, because back in the day of growing it in your own garden. Most of the produce and meat we buy in the grocery stores, do not give us the sufficient amount of nutrients we need, and supplements are absolutely needed to offset that lack of it being in the food we eat. If you do take a good probiotic you will need to eat so many containers of yogurt to even measure up to what a good probiotic can do. I know that sounds like my opinion but I’ve seen studies showing this and as far as I see it’s a scientific fact.

[@sassyintrovert]

Just a little friendly reminder to start with changing your diet versus going straight for a supplement.

[@davidmustaine2921]

same here I get ill every time I take them, but I can drink water kefir in small amounts and not get sick, theres something wrong with Probiotic Supplements and the strains they are using or they just contain contaminants.

[@mahsheenman]

interesting. the probiotics that made your daughter sick--were they pill-form probiotics or from fermented foods? Asking because I am genuinely curious. Thanks

[@smilecatdiamondpaint]

Same here! My daughter is immune compromised so I was giving her a probiotic specifically marketed for immune health. She was on it for a few months and she was getting a lot more skin infections, some serious, and she was getting severe chronic constipation. I was pulling out my hair trying to work out what, as a mother I was doing wrong. I researched absolutely everything, and finally looked into probiotics, the dangers I found online were on reliable scientific and medical sites. Why aren't these albeit rare dangerous side effects listed anywhere on bottles or websites of the supliments 😖

[@AmandaBryne]

No she didn't. Don't spread lies.

I went to he hospital for epididymitis and no one didn't know what type of antibiotics to take for that epididymitis when I left the hospital I was still in pain so I took care of it My self antibiotics will mess up immune system and also take out the magnesium potassium out of system and your electrolytes and all the good bacteria you have to read the label to see if you have a good probiotic

[@joeys1369]

Probiotics and vitamins are popular dietary supplements that many people take to improve their health and well-being. These supplements may be detrimental to your health. In this argument, we will explore the reasons why unregulated probiotics and vitamins may be harmful and the potential risks associated with their use. One of the primary concerns with unregulated probiotics is that they may contain harmful substances or contaminants. Unlike prescription drugs, dietary supplements are not subject to the same rigorous standards and regulations. Therefore, it is possible that unregulated supplements may contain undeclared or harmful ingredients, such as heavy metals, pesticides, or prescription drugs. These drugs may not contain the amount or type of active ingredient advertised on the label. This lack of regulation can lead to inconsistencies in the potency and effectiveness of the supplement, which can impact health outcomes. For instance, taking too much of a vitamin or mineral supplement can lead to toxic effects, while taking too little may not provide any benefit. Ingesting these meds can interact with other medications or supplements, potentially leading to harmful side effects. For instance, taking too much vitamin K can interfere with blood-thinning medications, while taking probiotics with antibiotics can reduce the effectiveness of the antibiotic. Probiotics and vitamins may not have undergone adequate testing for safety and efficacy. Unlike prescription drugs, dietary supplements do not need to undergo the same rigorous testing process before they are marketed to consumers. This lack of testing can lead to potential health risks and unknown interactions with other medications or supplements. The lack of regulation and oversight can lead to harmful substances, inconsistencies in potency, harmful interactions with other medications or supplements, and unknown risks. Therefore, it is essential to be cautious when taking supplements and to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen. Additionally, purchasing supplements from reputable sources and checking for third-party quality certifications can help ensure the safety and efficacy of the supplement.

The world (of probiotics) is complex. The real problem is that some people have an interest in presenting one little piece of information as the whole and final truth. Or they are too stupid to acknowledge the complexity. I could name certain KZbin "doctors" who fall in at least one of these categories.

[@gisellenight699]

[@michaelwagner8859]

So, let's see the peer reviewed studies. What do you mean by "research??" Talk to your doctor about the brand of probiotics? Talk to your doctor about your diet? Most doctors have little to no training in this first of all, and secondly, they have maybe 15 minutes every six months for you...

[@TheeMrsGrinch]

Right and they get kickbacks from shoving certain brands on you. They paid to promote crap to patients.

[@fermentillc]

I think they mean the "pipeline" to funding. The "research " can be peer reviewed to fit any political needs.

[@thehealthyhomesteadandprot24]

Its because they don’t have any peer review studies.

[@rogersweeney7071]

True Studies by doctors who know what they're doing probiotics actually destroy covid. Why do you think mainstream has begun to report this just now just in the last couple of months.

[@lmmalnory]

This way too vague. There are different probiotics, and pre-biotics and some are much higher quality than others. So just come out and say that probiotics now are shown in Studies to be harmful, is not enough detail to prove the fact. Exactly which probiotics were used in these studies? Were there pre-biotics involved? So many questions.

[@leeoconnor123]

If we go by what you just said, at trials test subjects given antibiotics AND THEN given probiotics.... you're supposed to have them at least two weeks prior, not after...🤦🏽‍♀️ Honestly, do not believe this crap they are telling you. Take a good branded supplement and pay attention to the fillers and ingredients. If you have gastritis or pancreatitis, problems with bloating, they will help you if you can tolerate them. Supplement this with healthy gut biome foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, yogurts containing good bacteria 🦠...it all helps. I'll tell you something about the medical industry, you won't find many Drs out there helping you with choosing a pre or probiotic, that's because it doesn't help them and they don't know enough about it. If this study they mention here is how they describe it, then instantly this is flawed, would love to Review the study myself.
