Probiotics while fasting

Wondering if it’d be a good idea to take probiotics while fasting, what the implications are on your gut. I would break open the capsule and mix it with my electrolyte drink, because pills tend to upset my stomach while fasting.

Answer

I am doubtful the probiotics are even reaching your gut. The capsules help the probiotics survive the journey through your stomach acids to reach your intestines and you are removing that.

Plus the electrolytes probably are harming them too since salts are used to preserve foods for a reason.

But other than that, probiotics shouldn’t be a problem during a fast but I have no personal experience using them while fasting.
