Caffeine can increase sugar and stress hormone levels in the blood. This negatively affects microorganisms in the digestive system. This part of the diet will be hard considering many people drink coffee, a top source of caffeine, everyday. To help avoid headaches caused by caffeine withdrawal, try slowly reducing coffee-intake at least two weeks before starting a probiotics diet. Fortunately, there are good alternatives to coffee. Herbal teas are way better and healthier. Hot water with sliced lemon or ginger would also be good.

6- Alcohol

For four weeks of starting a probiotics diet, individuals should avoid drinking any forms of alcohol. Intestinal mucus protects the body against infection and inflammation. It also promotes good bacterial growth. Alcohol damages this mucus and disrupts bacterial balance. This leads to bad bacteria dominating the digestive system. For individuals who find it hard to avoid alcohol, there is an alternative. Take a wine glass, pour in fizzy water and add a squeeze of lemon or lime. Drink and enjoy!
