Question:
Anyone used it ??
Answers:
Possible Side Effects of Acidophilus -
Ingested in large quantities, acidophilus may cause diarrhea or other gastrointestinal complaints.
Acidophilus and pectin are both good products. I don't know why you purchased it - whether for some specific problem or you just wanted to try it for health enhancement.
They both cause the intestines to change its basic condition from what it was before to one with the acidophilus live culture biotics.
I recommend that you search the Internet for more info about what acidophilus does for the internal works. Adding good bacteria to the intestines is good for the immune system, for one thing. Pectin is good for joints. Study them to learn what's happening. Meanwhile, reduce your intake or stop for a few days, till the loose stools stop, than gradually re-start.
Diarrhea is not to be taken lightly. It is helpful short term, at times, to rid the body of something harmful. But ongoing is not good for it flushes too many things your body should be absorbing from food and vitamins. Hope this helps.
