Q: can probiotics (activia) cause nausea and cramps in the beginning of starting them? can you suddenly stop taking them to eliminate side effects? how long before side effects stop ?

: Yes. If you stop them and "side effects" go away then you Start again and they reappear then most likely related to Activia. If not convinced then repeat on/off till you are certain this is the cause. Google n of one trials for more details.
