Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by Chrisily: Can acidophilus and antibiotics be taken together?
Is it okay to take acidophilus and antibiotics together?

The acidophilus bottle says to not take them within 2 hours of each other.

However, I was just wondering whether or not it’s a good idea to have both in general.

What about foods and such that contain acidophilus and other probiotics (such as yogurt)?

Any insight would be appreciated. =)

Yes. Infact, they should be taken while you’re on antibiotics. This will help prevent you from getting a yeast infection and from having a reasction to the antibiotic that will cause severe diarrhea.

Question by debmichelle1972: If a medication needs to be taken on “an empty stomach,” how long before & after eating should it be taken?
I was told to take probiotics, but they need to be taken on an empty stomach. The salesperson told me to take it first thing in the morning when I wake up. However, I usually get out of bed & go downstairs for coffee & breakfast before I do anything else. When is my stomach empty???
