E63: Can Probiotics Actually Make Bloating Worse? (What You Need to Know Before You Buy)
Probiotics are everywhere—from the supplement aisle to your social media feed—touted as the fix for everything from bloating to brain fog. But can they actually make things worse? In this episode, I’m breaking down what probiotics really do, who might benefit from them, and why more isn’t always better.
We’ll cover:
- The difference between probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics
- How specific strains support digestion, immunity, mood, and inflammation
- Why some people feel worse with probiotics (especially if you have SIBO or histamine issues)
- What to look for in a quality supplement—and what to avoid
- My take on refrigerated probiotics (and why they might be a waste of money)
If you're bloated, confused, and tired of throwing money at supplements that don’t work—this one’s for you.
