Probiotic Back Pain?

Ok so recently I started taking Udo's brand Probiotics designed to balance yeast in the gut and do all the good stuff probiotics are supposed to do.  I can't take the capsules because I am sensitive to gelatin, it constipates me, and despite the fact these say potato starch and not gelatin in the ingredients it still happened. So I started just putting it on some yogurt and then just taking it in water,  It seemed to be helping and improving my BM's but now I seem to be a lot more sensitive to anything.  I also have back pain in the lower middle area, so I googled it because it's quite pronounced and I don't usually have issues with back pain, first here is the product Open Original Shared Link

 

and when I searched any issues with probiotics I found Open Original Shared Link

 

annnnd unfortunately being a hypochondriac who has reasons to be concerned about something doing more damage then good..I was wondering if there were any informed individuals on here who could give me their opinion, to at the very least put my mind at ease.  Thanks in advanced :)

 

Open Original Shared Link this seems plausible, should I stop the probiotics ? maybe they are just to strong.

Medscape had a good article about supplements this month.  You have to join the forum to read it though.  Half of the interesting bits are in the comments section.

I've never had any issues with probiotics and I've taken them in many forms.  Maybe something else?

I've been taking probiotics for years and double up on them anytime I've had to take antibiotics and have never had any issues.  I've never heard any of the nutritionalists link probiotics with any kind of pain - as long as you don't take so many of them that they give you diarhea.  If you're taking them to balance yeast, keep in mind that when yeast die they give off a lot of toxins that can make you feel sick - this could be what's going on.  You have to kill them slowly.

      Migraines can be caused by Thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine is a B vitamin that becomes depleted quickly because it can't be stored long.  All the  B vitamins work together to make energy, ATP, which is used to fuel all the cell activity.  Without Thiamine, the energy production cycle doesn't even get started.   There's studies done on mice showing thiamine deficiency affects the offspring of thiamine deficient mothers and fathers.  The offspring have fewer thiamine receptors and are prone to becoming thiamine insufficient quickly.  They have a higher metabolic need for thiamine.  Supplementing with extra thiamine helped them  tremendously. Migraines have run in my family for...

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      Thank you, @Oldturdle, I greatly appreciate that.  I've always been a curious kitty.  I wanted to figure out why I didn't feel well because I knew it wasn't all in my head like they told me.  It pleases me to be able to help others in the same boat. Yes, alcohol prevents the absorption of thiamine and stops thiamine from working properly.  This can lead to Wernicke's Encephalopathy and Korsakoff syndrome, where thiamine deficiency severely affects brain function.  Doctors are trained to look for the triad of symptoms: opthalmoplegia (nystagmus), ataxia, and altered mental state.  However, not all people present with all three symptoms.  Many (80%) don't get diagnosed until their autopsy.   ...

      Migraines ran in my family, on my father's side.  All of my female first cousins on that side, and our grandmother suffered from Migraines.  Grandmother died in 1984 so we do not know if she ever would have been diagnosed with celiac disease. However, all 4 of us cousins were diagnosed with celiac disease between 2003 and 2007.  The dermatitis herpetiformis rash is a blistery, super itchy rash.  When they do the biopsy they take it from non-involved skin that is next to the rash.  If done wrong, the results may not be accurate.  Have you ever had one done? In that case, I agree that maybe she has you still on gluten for a biopsy.  But, if she has not ordered it nor referred you to a...

      Scott Adams makes an excellent point about the possible pending scope with biopsy being the reason you were advised to keep eating gluten, @NCalvo822! You might want to get some clarification about that. What you don't want to happen is to go gluten free and then have to go back on gluten at some point in order to produce valid scoping/biopsy results.
