Probiotics and psyllium is helpful for Crohn's

I didn't take time to look at the article, so I don't know what psyllium has to do with the trials, but I was on psyllium powder for seven months while I was misdiagnosed with IBS. I kept watery diarrhea during that time and would have to "hit the woods" with uncontrolled diarrhea even on short trips. I'm sure it can be helpful for some, but it wasn't for me. Every time I've tried taking probiotics, I had about the same results as above. It's like my gut thinks I've got food poisoning instead.

I get the same bad reaction from certain brands of probiotics. It might be the "Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction" or Herx which is a temporary healing crisis. It typically happens when large quantities of toxins are released into the body as your bad bacteria die and are replaced by the good bacteria from the probiotic. It can occur during antibiotic treatment or too rapid detoxification. You should feel better after a week or so.

Rather than waiting a week I just avoid those probiotics that give me trouble. There are other probiotics that help me. I like this abstract because it verifies what has been in my signature for years.
