Disadvantages of overdoing a probiotic-rich diet

1. Side Effects

A probiotic rich diet will help you keep your immune system strong. Having said that, excess probiotics, or in rare cases, probiotics may lead to increase in bloating, flatulence, headache and cause allergic reactions as well, adds Kamna Bhandari, lifestyle coach and co-founder, Intermittent Fasting & Mindful Living. To mitigate the probability of side effects, start with probiotics in small doses and slowly increase consumption over a few weeks.

2. Not for Everyone

For immunocompromised individuals, microbes, even those that are usually considered neutral or beneficial, can at times cause infections such as septicaemia, fungemia, abscesses, myo-endocarditis (infection of the heart), or pancreatitis. Probiotics may overstimulate the immune system or disrupt metabolic pathways for some people, cautions nutritionist Ryan Fernando. Avoid probiotics if you are immunocompromised, have specific gastrointestinal disorders, or are extremely ill in other ways. Pregnant women, babies, and young children should use probiotics with caution, and premature infants should never be given them.

3. Needs to be Supplemented with a Balanced Diet

While probiotics have numerous benefits, they work best with a balanced diet for all round nutrition, says Pallav Bihani, founder, Boldfit.
