Can You Over-Do Those Natural Stomach Medications?

Published April 24, 2013

Question by We2Angels: Can you over-do those natural stomach medications?
Like the lactobacilli and others that are supposed to add healthy bactertia to your stomach and intestines. Can you take too many? I have been taking 4/day for the last 2 weeks of lactobacilli (stored in my fridge) to help counter the effects of antibiotics and last night got horribly sick and today just feel rotten. Could it be I have too many bacteria??? I should know this as a biology student, but I don’t know if its possible!

You can overdo just about anything if you work at it and don’t use common sense
Chek out Lipski’s book ‘Digestive Wellness’
Also, read and follow label directions on any product you use.
Murray & Pizzorno’s Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine is a goldmine of info

Just because something says “natural” doesn’t mean there is no hazards to it. Take ‘heroin’ or “cocaine” for instance, seriously they are “natural” and they are far from being healthy!
SO be VERY careful! Even taking too many vitamins can do you harm.
USE AS DIRECTED ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!
