<p>Can anyone knowledgeable about this comment on it? Cultured dairy has always caused constipation for me, buttermilk being the worst. I have no problems with non-cultured dairy in any way. I've been making my own raw sauerkraut for the probiotics and that's been fine until now. I am getting constipation from it as well though more mild than from the cultured dairy. I plan on staying with the sauerkraut but not eating it daily and see how that works. Has anyone else had a similar experience?</p>

<p>Maybe you have a food allergy. I loved yogurt and taking probiotic pills but I found that when I ate them, I couldn't crap at all. Found out I was sensitive to dairy. Goodbye dairy...goodbye eggs too :sniff:</p>

<p>Perhaps your system is overwhelmed by the all the good bacteria, creating a die-off reaction from an overabundance/imbalance of bad bacteria. A sudden worsening of symptoms are common, including constipation (even while increasing probiotics), because the bad bacteria/yeasts/fungi are releasing toxins as they are eliminated. Just Google about Candida die-off, and you'll see constipation as a symptom. Maybe you could stick with the dairy/fermented veggies for a little while, just add them slowly to reduce severity of die-off. Notice if it eventually gets better/worse and go from there...remember, you know your own body best! </p>
