Probiotics causing infection?

I have been taking probiotics during my recovery, and my mom just told me that she read that probiotics can cause infection. I have been eating a bunch of yogurt and taking probiotic tablets as well. I looked it up and found that probiotics can indeed cause infection.

I could kick myself! I have been trying to be super-healthy - eating protein, lots of fruit and veggies, taking vitamin C, zinc, multivitamins - and probiotics!  I woke up this morning with a painful lump next to my knee drain. I am taking the antibiotics, and hopefully I will feel better soon.

Has anyone else had any experience with this?

I haven't but I did eat Greek yogurt pretty much everyday and didn't have any problems.  Definitely worth checking in with the doc.  Feel better soon.

I dont know about that. I have been taking probiotics for about 6 months and I nevr had any infections and have had 2 surgeries while on them,

I've also been using probiotics for over 2 years since having weight loss surgery and have had several plastics procedures and never had a problem with an infection.
