Re: Antibiotics & Probiotics

[Guest guest]

I am having to take an antibiotic, Augmentin, to get rid of a kidney

infection and I, of course, am worried about it. If I take the probiotics

during the antibiotic treatment, it seems like they would just be destroyed

by the antibiotic.........so the question is......should I wait to take the

probiotics after I finish the antibiotics or should I take the probiotics

with the antibiotics?

Another question: Do sulfur drugs like Sulfamethoxazole kill the good

bacteria like antibiotics do? I was given that drug the last time I had a

kidney infection.

Thanks,

I had a similar question.

I called culturelle and asked them about their product and they claimed

that it would still be effective. I suspect it would make it harder from

the probiotics dependeing on the antibiotic used.

Hello Patti:

I've always been told to take to probiotics during the course or

antibiotics and then continue for a few weeks after as well. This is

what I've always done but I don't have any back up data to send you to

confirm that this is a useful way to do it.

maybe it isn't yeast?

That's a terrible question, I know, but you're doing all sorts of stuff to

prevent yeast. Is your doctor saying it is definitely yeast?

Just wondered if you should enlarge the possibilities so as not to miss

anything.

Yes, check your local health food store.

> Can someone tell me about this:

My dd has yeast - very bad, we fight it all the time. She is on Zyme Prime (5 x

day), AFP (5 x day)No-Fenol(3 x day). We have Yeast Avenger, Diflucan, that I

give everyday. I give a combo of Pro Bio gold and Culturelle (5 x day). How is

it we are still YEASTIE!!!!!

What am I doing wrong, can anyone give me some hints. I've used GSE and it

works, but kills of the good bugs as well. Is this soemthing that I shouldn't

worry about the good bugs until all the yeast is taken care of? Am I spinning my

wheels? I wonder because we use ALA to chelate and every time it brings back the

yeast.

AARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!

PLEASE GIVE ME A SENSE OF DIRECTION HERE!!!!!

I don't know about oil of oregano, because I have never used it. But

in my experience, GSE kills yeast only, because every time I give GSE

for too many days, my kids get bad bacteria overgrowth, the GSE sure

does not kill the bad bacteria! And then I stop the GSE and give

Culturelle and that fixes the bacteria problem.

I give Culturelle at the same time as enzymes, still works very well

for us.
