From what I know experimenting with some pretty strong probiotics (I had GI issues due to an infection) it's possible, though diarrhea seems more common. Sometimes the body takes time to adjust. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/probiotics-having-the-opposite-effect#post-2386276 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 23:54:23 +0000 kodybear 2386276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no the probiotics usually regulate LO as well. what about milk intake? too much milk can cause constipation as well so i'd up the water for a bit. or i'd try prunes/raisins. that usually helps my LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/probiotics-having-the-opposite-effect#post-2386256 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 23:00:37 +0000 MrsSRS 2386256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oops, sorry, that wasn't the question, was it? No. I haven't heard of probiotics causing this and doubt that is it if you are using the same ones and never had a problem before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/probiotics-having-the-opposite-effect#post-2386247 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 22:39:36 +0000 MrsSRS 2386247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is liquid intake and activity level the same too? I might spend a week pushing prune juice, etc to get things back to normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/probiotics-having-the-opposite-effect#post-2386115 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 19:57:39 +0000 birdofafeather 2386115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had this. Probiotics always regulate her whether too loose or too hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/probiotics-having-the-opposite-effect#post-2385285 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 08:15:38 +0000 littlebug 2385285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About a month ago, D got bronchitis and was started on antibiotics. Antibiotics always mess with his gut, so I started giving him Culturelle probiotics (the chewables) at the same time. While he was on the abx, he got probiotics 2x a day, but we dropped to 1x a day when the abx stopped. He was off them for a couple of days for his surgery, but started right back on them 2 days after surgery. Well, since surgery (which was 3.5 weeks ago), he's been having issues with constipation - to the point where the other night he was crying in the tub that his bottom hurt then woke up the next morning with a MASSIVE hard poop in his diaper. He's cried a few other times that his belly hurts, and then hours later has tiny little hard rabbit turds in his diaper.</p> <p>I know that anesthesia can cause constipation, so for the first week or so I chalked up to that, but that can't still be affecting him now. His diet is pretty much the same as before surgery. The only other difference is he's on 1/2 baby aspirin a day.</p> <p>Has anyone else's kiddo ever had the opposite effect from probiotics? </p>
