Probiotics--can they help and what are the best names to buy

Guest over a year ago

Every one is different ! Everyone's immune system is different ! Everyone reacts differently to different foods. Your a fool to believe if it doesn't happen to you it shouldn't happen to anyone else.
For the record I take probiotics I get hemorrhoids the next fricken day and being repeatable makes it scientific fact. It took me several months to figure out why, but now I know with 100% certainty.
Maybe for some people it clears them up, but for otheres it inflames the gut. For those who can't get rid of them try Butchersbroom or Rutin.

I started taking Mega Food's Mega Flora (1st time I've taken a probiotic) & 19 days later I'm suffering from my first hemorrhoid. Since you work on the mechanisms of prob's effects I'm wondering if you have any suggestions on taking these. I'm quitting now of course until I clear up but am thinking of trying a week on/week off method....would they still help my digestive system?? Any help at all is appreciated.

Oh wow, I have had roids off and on over the years, I'm in the last healing stages of probably my worst flare up to date (I mean the type that hurt just breathing, lol) trying to trace the cause and reading some of the posts below, I realise In the last few weeks I was eating a lot of yoghurt with granola and taking probiotics as well...surprised that things that are supposed to make your gut healthy and ease movement could do that...btw, rapid cure for me was rinsing with diluted ACV, ice pack and application of olive oil mixed with tea tree oil.

Hi there- not sure if you've sorted this out yet but ANY dairy causes a flare up with me. It also happens that when I eat anuthing with both high fat/high sugar (even dairy free ice cream) I feel a flare up coming on. Just a though, maybe it's the dairy/high fat high sugar foods

Yep, there's definitely a link. No doubt about it for me. And I take a good brand of non-dairy probiotics, Dr Mercola.

My gut feeling ;-) is that the probiotic, like anything that helps the bowels to clear, is causing rectal strain and leading to more time on the toilet, resulting in the hemorrhoid.

Or some other reason linked to detoxing. When I took some Chinese medicine in the past, the doctor had kept asking at regular intervals if hemorrhoids had appeared. That Chinese concoction was also treating health conditions through the bowel, like Ayurveda and Unani medicine do.

I would have to disagree that it was just the yogart. My problem began 2 months ago when I began a garden of life protein powder with added probiotics. I have never experienced this before. After reading, I am convinced that the gut war that these probiotics are declaring is causing more harm than good for me. I would imagine that a small group of people have adverse affects and so probiotics are not for everyone.

Hello. I found this post when I googled the topic of probiotics possibly causing hemmorhoids. I have never had more than maybe an occasional itchiness, but a week or two into taking Align probiotic (bifidobaccilus infantalis) daily, I developed blood in my stool, which I’ve concluded is due to Hemorrhoids. This is very disturbing because the probiotic was helping my recently diagnosed mild case of diverticulitis. I stopped taking the pill a couple days ago. Perhaps when the bleeding goes away I will resume the pill but only on a weekly or as needed basis..

I had hemorrhoid flare ups 2 years back. was keeping quite well since last 2 years. Now past 4/5 months I am into a lot of Kefir daily morning & since last week I had really bad flare ups. I am planning to stop my kefir completely & see how I am doing in the next 2/3 weeks. Will update back.
My gut feeling is there is a link between probiotics & h-oids flare ups. Nothing else significantly explains my current situation. Thanks for all the contributors to this thread.

I may have a correlation here too. Been hemorrhoid free for over a decade and suddenly got a bad flare up today for no apparent reason. I started on Garden of Life Primal Defence Probiotics four days ago and today I bumped up my dosage to three a day and boom hemorrhoids.. Would never have thought, but I have to look at it now, it's the only thing different in my diet.

There is definitely a correlation. Every time I start taking probiotics for digestive issues, I get a hem flare up within a week. And I don't eat any dairy at all. Lots of fiber aggravate my hemorrhoids too, contrary to what the doctors say.
