Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by Yvonne: are probiotics/acidophilis necessary to take even when ur not on antibiotics?

Hello, I was on Doxyclycline for 3 wks back in July-august.
So throughout the month of Sept. was taking also probiotics [consuming them 3 hrs. after antibiotic so it would be beneficial,ect]
so during that time, and afterwards still took the probiotics,then stopped.
WAS THAT ENOUGH TIME???
Or should I take more probiotics for another 2-3 months??
I KNOW ANTIBIOTICS ARE ROUGH on one’s body, so naturally would like to get things ‘back on track’ in my bod, eating healthy I have been. But haven’t been eating yogurts.
back to original question pls, thank you!

Well mate, that would depend entirely on how you feel your digestion and regularity is behaving …….. do you get bloating, gassiness, fatigue and exhaustion after meals?? if so, this would suggest that you need to continue taking the probiotic …. in general, you only need to take the probiotic supplement for about a month after completing your course of antibiotics to replenish your good bacteria.

You can also increase your beneficial bacteria levels by adding more fibre to your diet (intestinal bacteria consume dietary fibre and metabolize it into acids that inhibit the growth of bad bacteria) also you could eat yoghurt (if you aren’t lactose intolerant that is) ~ preferably made with live, active cultures …… ;0)

take care of you

peace baby

If you really need Anti Biotics. Be sure to go on Probiotics right after to restore the good bacteria in your G.I. track.
Anti biotics are used 10 times more than needed by these so called doctors. How do you know that your condition is non fungle related ? Some pill pushing Doctor tell you that ?

Question by Dianne S: Should I give my horse probiotics while he’s on antibiotics?
My horse is on a very long course of antibiotics. I wormed him and gave him probiotics about a week before the vet prescribed the antibiotics. Should I give him more probios while he’s on the antibiotics, or is it a waste? Will the antibiotics just kill off the probios? Should I wait until he’s finished with the course of antibiotics before I give him more probios, or give it to him during the antibiotic treatment?
I have a friend who had a horse that was deathly ill and thought she would lose her. None of the vets treatment was working. She stopped all meds and told the horse that if it was her time to “go” that would be okay. She decided to try probios as one last ditch attempt and the horse bounced back amazingly fast! She regained the 200 lbs she lost and is being ridden again!
My vet agrees that probios are very beneficial. I know that they are for humans, I’ve worked for two colon therapists over the past 7 years. I tend not to follow the traditional medical establishment most of the time anyway since I know how money oriented it is and I believe the veteranary field is headed in the same direction.

If The Vet Comes Again Ask And Check With Him.

If He Doesn’t Come Then I Would Wait Until He Is Finished With The Antibio’s And Then Give Him the Probio’s.

Hope This Helps x x

Question by Hannah’s mommy: antibiotics, diarrhea and probiotics??
My 17 month old daughter is on a pretty strong antibiotic for a VERY stubborn double ear infection. We tried the wait and see approach for 2-3 days, but it was not getting any better.
Since she started the antibiotics last night, she has had some diarrhea and loose stool. When I spoke with the nurse this morning, she suggested using some probiotics to help.

My question is, has anyone used these probiotics before? I have heard of them, but have had no experience with it. How do I give it to my daughter and where would I get them?
Is there anything besides yogurt that I could feed her that would help?

Thanks in advance!

Yogurt is probably the best probiotic to use for such a young child, but go to a health food store and speak with them about other options. There are pills and drinks that would work fine too.
