Probiotic and nausea
Hi, just started taking a probiotic last week, can't remember the brand. I've been having trouble keeping solid foods with alot of fat (bacon, other fried stuff) down since Friday. I get really nauseous and sometimes end up throwing up.
Is this normal at the beginning of taking a probiotic or something I need to discuss with Dr. K at my appointment tomorrow?
P.S. I can keep liquids, i.e., protein shakes, down with no problem.

Its normal for probiotic to cause some Gi issue, but thats usually on the other end- with bloating, gas and loose stools until the bacteria regulates. That only lasts a few days. Vomiting is NOT a normal side effect. I would discontinue the probiotic and see what happens though- it could always be a filler or something that isnt agreeing with you.
