Ultimate Flora, one probiotic supplement includes active ingredients like Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis. MayoClinic.com claims that there are evidence supporting good bacteria presence in probiotics for restoring digestive tract balance by treating different conditions like bowel syndrome, diarrhea or other intestinal infections. U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) don’t strictly regulate such supplements, but there are no guarantees for safety, purity, or strength of this Ultimate Flora, thus its effects can vary. In some cases persons develop ill effects from consuming such probiotic supplements.

The most faced side effect of taking this ultimate flora is abdominal discomfort. Such discomfort occurs from excessive gas in intestinal tract, this happens when any new bacteria enters digestive system temporarily upsetting the bacterial balance. This excessive gas may cause bloating, pain, cramping or flatulence, but this is resolved with continual use of this probiotic as slowly digestive tract adjusts. But if the discomfort persists, limit your regular ultimate flora dose. Several discomfort or abdominal discomfort lasting more than 2 days must be properly checked by some doctor.

Excess drainage syndrome is another such side effect. This causes symptoms like bloating, headache, diarrhea, or even constipation. It occurs as a result of consuming too much probiotics rapidly, which causes immune and digestive systems to jerk into overdrive. For getting relief reduce consuming too much probiotics unless your body gets adjusted with extra bacteria. As the body learns to deal with extra bacteria increase the dose gradually. But in case these symptoms persist, check with a doctor.

Infections may also occur, generally in that individual who suffers from weaker immunity owing to any disease or some therapy needing chemotherapy or even immunosuppressant.  Such individuals with weak immunity can grow fungal infection too. There are also few reports that people consuming supplements consisting of Lactobacillus acidophilus have developed heart-valve infections, particularly those having artificial heart-valve.

One of claimed advantageous effects of this ultimate flora is speeding up digestive process, but this may intervene with body’s way of metabolizing drugs. Sulfasalazine, one drug used for treating ulcerative colitis. Maryland Medical center’s University says that people consuming sulfasalazine must not take ultimate flora as it contains lactobacillus acidophilus, causing improper metabolism.
