Yes it can. If you consume it in large doses it can throw your body's natural good bacteria out of whack which can lead to watery stools. Also some people are more sensitive to probiotics and they should not be taken without speaking to a medical professional or by anyone with a compromised immune system. For more information you can check out ehow.com and search for probiotics and there is some more information there. The best way to add good bacteria to your body is through plain yogurt.

What are some things you can eat to prevent diarrhea Besides Bananas Rice Applesauce and Toast?

Bananas Rice Applesauce and Toast (ie, the BRAT diet) is actually more useful is controlling diarrhea than in preventing it. Yogurt is very helpful in preventing diarrhea and can be useful in controlling it as well, depending on the cause of the diarrhea. Yogurt contains probiotics, which are "good bacteria" that are essential is helping to digest food and protecting our bowels from infection-causing bacteria. An imbalance in the good and bad bacteria in the intestines is a common cause of diarrhea, especially diarrhea associated with antibiotics. However, eating dairy may be contraindicated in some conditions causing diarrhea, so it is best to double check with a doctor. Probiotics can also be taken in supplement form. Depending on the cause of diarrhea, a doctor may suggest avoiding certain foods to prevent diarrhea. For example, many people with Crohn's disease can prevent diarrhea by avoiding raw fruits and vegetables.

Can probiotics cause depression?

Do you mean probiotics as in through the food we eat? I wouldn't think that probiotics cause depression for several reasons. It is too extreme to simply say that probiotics CAUSE depression since there are still many studies whose purpose is to understand depression...I don't even know if there is a conclusively proven cause of depression, only symptoms that contribute to depression. I think probiotics are suppose to help with digestion so I'm not sure how that would even relate back to the chemical levels in your brain (sometimes when serotonin levels are low, people may be more prone to feeling depressed).
