Melissa 10:

This is what I have learned: Our digestive track has good and bad bacteria. antibiotics can not only get rid of the bad but also the good which then causes problems just as you mention. I certainly do Not understand why more doctors don't seem to know this or mention this! Probiotics are the thing to take when on antibiotics. I take them all the time as years ago I use to get yeast infections and was taking a health magazine which mentioned taking acidophilus to protect good bacteria from yeast infections and after doing this never had another problem.The same is true with gut problems especially when using an antibiotic. I get mine from Puritans Pride and on bottle it says: Probiotic Acidophilus. It says to take one capsule but I take at least 2 and more when on antibiotic. Hope this helps!
