Echo Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Hi all, just came across this article about probiotics being related to brain fog: https://neurosciencenews.com/probiotics-brain-fog-bloating-9659/ Apparently you can have too much of a good thing and for some people probiotic bacteria in the small intestine can cause too much lactic acid which contributes to brain fog.

JaneEyre9 Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 This is a great article. SIBO is definitely something to rule out with a doctor/tests if one has the symptoms of GI trouble and/or brain fog. Certain probiotic strains can worsen SIBO symptoms. As someone who has struggled with tolerating probiotics for years, I have found very small amounts of D-lactate-free probiotics (made by Custom Probiotics) to be the best option for me. They don't cause the digestive or brain fog symptoms I get after eating yogurt or supplements like L. Acidophilus. One other option is to not feed the bacteria in your gut the sugars that they break down. At my sickest, I had a lot of luck with changing my diet (under a doctor's guidance) to eliminate grains/sugars temporarily. Felt like a brand new person!
