Hello,
I've been taking a probiotic now since about February, however in the last fifteen days I have been taking 3 a day instead of 1 because I've been on antibiotics. Strangely, I have noticed that my tummy has been much better over the last fifteen days, which I can only assume must be from the probiotics. I expected it to be worse because of the antibiotics, but thankfully (knock on wood) it's been better.
So, my question is, could I continue taking 3 a day? The bottle says for preventative/maintenance use take 1 daily and for therapeutic use take 3. I'll list the ingredients too...I just wasn't sure if there was such thing as too much probiotic.
Each capsule contains: Lactobacillus acidophilus - 10% Lactobacillus rhamnosus - 50% Streptococcus thermophilus - 20% Bifidobacterium longum - 10% Bifidobacterium bifidum - 10% Fructo-oligo-saccharides (FOS) - 60mg
Each capusle is guaranteed to have 5 billion active cells.
Any advice would be great! Thanks, Kelly
