Re: Re antibiotic x probiotics- waste of time???

[Guest guest]

Hi Vilma,

We've been told by my sons doctor to give more probiotics whilst my son

is taking antibiotics. I understand that the antibiotics wipe out both

good and bad bacteria - I hope some of the probiotics are sticking in

the gut - I'd hate to think we are throwing away all that money!

Hi

I am giving

my son a course of antibiotics. I am not sure if giving probiotics

while giving antibiotics is a waste of time (and money). I read that

all the good bacteria while give antibiotics you give will die as soon

as the next dose of antibiotic is given. So, wouldn't it just be better

not to give probiotic at all and reintroduce it when antibiotic

finishes???

Feed backs

will be much appreciated it.

Thanks

Vilma
