Re:antibiotics and probiotics

[Guest guest]

Hi, I was told by my doctor that when on antibiotics all bacteria, good and

bad, are 'killed off.' When the course of antibiotics is finished then eating

plain yogurt and taking probiotics to replenish all the 'good' bacteria that

were killed of is very important in maintaining good health.

If this is the case, then taking probiotics at the same time as the antibiotic

would seem to me to be counterproductive. For this reason I make sure that I

take my minocin at a minimum of 2 hours away from the probiotic.

From this list and then reading other holistic health lists, I have been using

probiotics for ten or eleven years. I joined in 1996, I believe. I have taken

Sundown, PB8's, Jarro-dophilus(sp) and a few others. The most I took was 5 mg.

of pred. which I have lowered to 2 mg. for a few years now. I get yeast ALL the

time. Anyway, what I wanted to say is that some folks don't seem to be aware

that not all yogurts have " live culture " which is what we need. i do not need

the extra sugar and calories in yogurt.

From childhood, I have usually awakened once during the night to void. This is

when I tend to take two-three probiotics with water in an insulated mug.

Hi ;

You want a probiotic that has at least 6billion of at least 8

strains.It should be enteric coated so as to disolve in the intestine.If

it is not coated the stomack acid kill off almost all the good bacteria

and is a waste of money.I take 6 capsules a day as after almost 8 years

on antibiotic I have a systemic yeast problem .I now have to take

Diflucan and even it is having a tough time fighting it. Lynne G/SD
