Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

It is possible to overdo probiotics - some people are sensitive to probiotics. Taking too much can cause bloating or diarrhea. However, an Activia a day is not overdoing probiotics and should not cause upset. If it does, however, reduce it to half a yogurt per day and see if that works better.
Best,
Susan
