I take a strong probiotic called VSL #3 but I swear sometimes after I take it, I have some allergy issues, like sneezing and congestion. I looked it up and came upon this article. Something to think about.

Wow...I always felt bad after taking probiotics and was just told to try other brands,
but they all seemed to affect me negatively.
Important article!

That's interesting. I'm glad you posted.

I don't take supplements - except B12 which I need because I run low. I get tested annually for B12.

I don't take other supplements because they aren't adequately tested and not well regulated unlike drugs. I would take probiotics if I was on antibiotics for an extended time - but I would prefer to eat sauerkraut, Kimchi, dill pickles etc. I think eating a wide variety food with probiotics is probably a safer route than taking a pill with a concentrated dose.
