I keep coming across studies stating that probiotics induce cytokine activity, dose dependent, with certain bacteria causing more than others.
So the probiotic itself becomes a source of inflammation? Is this another way of saying "sensitivity"? The studies don't seem to factor in issues like sensitivities, leaky gut etc. This reaction seems to occur in all people to varying degrees.
I crave live culture kefir, but too much brings on itching and, eventually, a ramping up of my primary AF symptoms--fatigue and flu-like aches and pains in hands and feet. All probiotics are classed as high histamine, and I need at least a month of low histamine foods to rebalance and bring intolerances down.
Anybody out there with similar reactions who is able to balance low doses of probiotics for their benefits?
Do very small amounts as in these desensitization trials with infants quieten down an inflammatory response in time?
As for taking probiotic pills to avoid reactions, I read these are classed with yogurt as being no better than transient bacteria without the ability to colonise. Hence that recent hospital study that showed no reduction in antibiotic diarrhoea with probiotic pills.
