Can Econorm cause bloating or gas? I took it for stomach upset, and now I feel a bit uneasy and full. Is this a normal side effect, or should I stop taking it?

Dear Reader,
A little bloating or a “full” feeling can occur with probiotics such as Econorm, especially in the first day or two, but this is extremely rare. It’s usually just your gut adjusting, and for many people, it settles down on its own. If the discomfort is mild, you can continue taking it and monitor how you feel.
However, if the bloating becomes painful, keeps getting worse, or you feel uneasy about continuing, it’s safer to stop and check with your doctor. They can confirm whether it’s just a temporary reaction or if you should switch to something else.
If you notice severe abdominal pain, fever, or worsening diarrhea, please contact your physician immediately.
Wishing you good health.
