Stupid Probiotic Question - Educate me

[HappyLoveMama]

I have been taking probiotics for a while now and mostly for keeping my tummy under control. I had IBS type symptoms for a while and I think it's better but occasionally not. I take a 10 billion per capsule pill every day along with one "Align" pill. I was just checking something on kellymom and discovered that a high dosage of probiotic can cause digestive upset.

So basically, I said "huh?" I thought it can't hurt to take a high dose. I remember when the problem first started, my doc said to take acidophilius a few times a day. So basically, am I hurting myself rather than helping?

Is this safe to do while pg? We are currently trying for #2.

Thanks.

I just re-read - it was stating that about prebiotics. I guess I don't know the difference b/w pre and pro biotics

Still curious however about probiotic use in pregnancy...again, I take a 10 billion per capsule pill every day, plus Align.
