Is It Normal To Have Intact Probiotic Capsule In Stool After Taking It?
Question: I am taking probiotics and have a lot of gut issues, on a very restricted diet from Naturopath due to severe food intolerances, Candida and parasites. Did a fecal today and sent off. question...why is the probiotic intact in my stool? I called the company and they said that is not normal, but would not tell me anything more, other than that I may have digestive disturbances. I mostly am eating foods made in my vitamix with medical food, protein powder, fruit and raw spinach, XXXXXXX etc. Hemp hearts, berries, water, ice, chia seeds. Maybe a chicken breast and steamed broccoli for supper. I do notice my bm is often green when I have spinach. I dint use wheat, dairy, soy, legumes, grains, citrus. I use coconut and olive oil.

Dear Ms
Candida infection of gut is usually seen in immunodeficiency individual from any cause. It's unlikely that the symptoms could be from candida. Probiotic basically contain healthy gut flora which helps replenishing the healthy bacteria of intestine. Intake of yoghurt which is natural Probiotic will be helpful.
Diagnosis of food allergy is based on thorough history and confirmed by presence of reducing substance and blood in stools.
Probiotic causes replenishing of normal gut bacteria and there is no way it can be detected in stools.
I hope I have resolved your query.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take care
