probiotic made me feel horrible -- normal?!

[GoodUserNamesTaken]

Hello,

My twins and I have thrush, and I'm trying to beat it. I tried taking a probiotic last night before bed, and I felt HORRIBLE.. !! Nausea, dizziness, severe anxiety... it was miserable. And I have felt completely miserable all day.

Is this yeast die off?? Can you get that just from taking a probiotic? I'm afraid to take it again, because I felt so bad. But I know I should take it, for the yeast and PLUS I am on antibiotics (for the 3rd time in 6 months... hence, the yeast...)

Anyone have experience with this? Thoughts? Ideas?

Check to see if it has FOS in it. If so, try a brand without FOS. Sometimes people (I am one) react very badly to FOS.

Vitamin C several times per day can help neutralize the toxins from die off. Also activated charcoal or pascalite clay (make sure to take away from anything you don't want to it to absorb like your antibx dosage).

Enzymes are also great for yeast:

Saccharomyces Boulardii is a beneficial yeast that can be taken with antibiotics to reduce harmful yeast growth.

I have heard of this before, seems like you're body is really reacting but that means you should keep taking them. Hang in there and try and cut out sugar and processed foods for a little while.
