I have the same symptoms as another person with lots of bloating and pain in my stomach and bowels. I was constipated and had to use milk of mag. which didn’t help much so I used ducolax. which gave me diarehha
I still have the stomach pain and bloating. I have an appt. with my dr this week. My pain has not gone away?
I am afraid I have a bacteria overgrowth. we’ll see?

Hello I started to drink Danone Danactive on daily basis 4 years ago. In few weeks time the skin on my face around nose and forehead started to cover with teenage pimpels (which I never have had since being a teenager). I only thought that it is because my period is coming, or I ate too much crisps or chocolate. But the red dots never dissappeared, the only change (my skin was clearer without the spots when I went for holiday – of course during that time I didn’t drink Danactive, but I didn’t recognize the connection there then, I thought it was the sun and sea water that cleared my skin). This year a month ago I went again for a holiday but when I got back a did a test – as soon as I started to drink Danactive my nose area and forehead started to rush, then after 3 days I stopped and never drank Danactive since and my face is clean and nice still till now. I didn’t experience digestion problems, but there must be one of the ingredients that caused me skin problems for years.

I never tried DanActive before, but I started it in Jan 2010, in March 2010 I had severe pain in my abdomen, at the level of the decending colon, and upper left and middle abdomen and right upper abdomen. A CT of my abdomed revealed no abnormalities. My pain eventually went away with prednisone. I did not think the pain was associated with DanActive until I recently started it 3 weeks ago. The pain is back!!!! I am beginning to think DanActive causes bacterial overgrowth, possible colitis/enteritis responsive to cortisone.

I think the problems already existed and the yougert had nothing to do with anything. It just makes no sense!

I started eating activia and was doing fine for about the first week, and then noticed i was getting stomach pain, like a twisting pulling feeling in my stomach and right side before a bowel movement. After having a BM, the pain would decrease and sometimes go away completly, but would appear again after I felt gas or another BM come on. I ate activia for about 3 weeks before I started to connect the discomfort to the yogurt. I even have been to my doctor because the pain was worrying me so much, I thought I might have an ulcer or cancer ! I stopped eating Activia about 3 weeks ago, and I STILL am having the same symptoms!! I am worried that this stuff has caused permanent damage to me!! If anyone has the same effects that I had and AM STILL HAVING 3 weeks later….please let me know if the pain goes away EVER!!!!!!!!

My wife & I have been eating Activia for several years and have never had a problem. It has helped both of us with our regularity. It has been much more effective than bran granules (no names because I don’t want anyone to think I am against a specific product.) Any hi fiber diet can cause bloating and excessive gas. Just read the labels.

I was having a bit of a problem with bowel movements so thought I would try Activia. After one week I had severe cramping and bloating such as I have never had in my 71 years. I stopped the Activia once I found that many others have posted the same problem. A week later, the cramps and bloating are still there.

I used the product for three weeks because I thought it would work .It didn’t do what the advertising says it’s supposed to do . I had so much stomach pain and constipation that I would say if I had to keep eating it I would have ended up in the hopsital . I eat other Yoghurts and haven’t experience the same problems .
