Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

request of Mutt & Fro : Are probiotics really helped after a course of antibiotics? Someone told me that probiotics are useful “equilibrium” after you take your system to antibiotics. Are there medical studies to support this claim? best answer: what do you mean? Answer below!

Well, I just started taking antibiotics for strep throat and this is the FIRST TIME ever in my life to take antibiotics at 21 years of age. ( I was blessed with a great immune system I suppose) I am taking amoxicillin and since it is a moderately broad spectrum antibiotic, is it a good idea to take probiotics during the course of this medication or right after wards? If so, how much. I am eating yogurt everyday but it mostly has the acidophilus bacteria and the pills I was going to by has lactobacillus among others. Thanks for your help!

I have been on antibiotics and was wondering what would help my stomach recover from them someone said probiotics but I dont know what they are?

My stomach is a little upset because I haven’t been eating probiotics when I normally do every day (because I’m on antibiotics.)
I’m wondering if I can eat some Activia while on the antibiotics or if it would negate the effects…
the antibiotics are for a bladder infection, not sure if that matters.

Thanks! :]
