Listen to your body: There are all kinds and some may contain heavy metals that are not good. If one has recently taken antibiotics probiotics can be helpful to prevent clostridia and overgrowth with bad bacteria but eating 6 servings of vegetables fresh or lightly steamed and eating one apple a day promotes a healthy bacterial flora. Dairy, wheat, and sugar grow inflammatory bacteria.

Probably good: However, people respond to probiotic differently to the same strain of probiotics . Some conditions appear to respond to one and not the other. While the issues are far from resolved, i would be inclined to think that it does more good than harm overall. I myself take one daily.
