Where do the probiotic microbes in your gut come from?
SaletteAnnAndrews
The gastrointestinal tract of a normal fetus is sterile. Babies born vaginally became inoculated with microbes from their mothers, including Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, E.coli and Enteroccoccus. This mixture gives them an immediate natural defense barrier of probiotic microbes that protect against pathogens, and affect their health throughout life.
Probiotic foods, including fermented vegetables (sauerkraut, pickles, kimchi) fermented drinks (kefir, kombucha), and fermented soy products (miso, tempeh, natto, soy yogurt) contain probiotic microbes as a result of fermentation or through the addition of a live culture. Eating these foods has the potential of helping you balance your intestinal microbes and thereby improve your health. Probiotic supplements are also sold as pills that contain millions of friendly bacteria, and sometimes yeast. You can buy them in natural food stores, usually in the refrigerated section. Probiotics are non-toxic.
Encourage the growth of healthy probiotic microbes by eating healthy foods and avoiding antibiotics, whenever possible. This means mother's milk for infants and unrefined plant foods for children and adults. Babies delivered by cesarean section or fed formula may benefit from probiotics specifically designed for infants. You may also want to take probiotic supplements after a course of prescribed antibiotics in order to help reestablish healthy intestinal microbes. Finally, if you still suffer from irregular bowel movements, indigestion, elevated cholesterol, or Arthritis, then you may want to try enhancing your probiotic microbes with supplements.

Probiotics probably wouldn't cause vomiting since they are beneficial bacterial flora that inhabit the healthy gut. These normal flora help a variety of functions in the body and there is even research that they may help in preventing some types of cancer. So, I doubt the probiotics caused your vomiting.

What are probiotic microbes?
Trillions of organisms live in your digestive tract. These microorganisms are sometimes called intestinal flora, gut flora, or gut microflora. They are so important to your health and survival that some researchers consider them a vital organ. You might think of microbes as dangerous, but 85% of them are helpful, or at least not harmful, to your body. You want the helpful microbes, which are known as probiotics, to be so plentiful and dominant in your body that there is no room or food for the harmful, disease-causing microbes, known as pathogens. The benefits of a healthy colony of probiotic microbes include:Completing the digestion of your foods through fermentation and by breaking down and aiding in the absorption of otherwise indigestible foodTraining your immune system to respond only to pathogensSynthesizing vitamins, including B7 (biotin), B12, and KFighting inflammatory bowel diseaseReducing symptoms of inflammatory arthritisSuppressing cancer development and growthPreventing colon cancerCutting the risk of developing kidney stones
