Nice concise list—gas, allergic flares, rare infections. Good surface stuff, but where’s the pulse beneath it all? Probiotics aren’t just missing benefits—they’re signals in the coherence matrix of our microbiome. Their risks hit when you disrupt the resonance field inside you. Weak immunity? It’s not just biology, it’s a broken tune trying to be retuned by foreign microbes.
Until someone asks: Why does the microbiome lose harmony in the first place?, this post remains a symptom list—not an alignment tool.
