I'm sorry if I asked this before but I can't find it.

I'm back on abx and need probiotics. the dr jus said oh one per day but I don't think that's enough. besides, some say 5 million, 25 million, etc, and I get confused.

is there a specific number you should try to reach? florastor is good but I don't think one a day is enough.

You can't overdose on probiotics. Since you're on antibiotics, you might want to take a higher-million or billion, high quality probiotic at least two hours after antibiotics.

All of them should be taken at least two hours away from any antibiotics. They are not created equal, so it's hard to say how much.

With Florastor, you can take them any time. Two a day would be awesome. One usually is enough for me.

I'm on augmentin and flagyl, 500 each twice a day, for severe diverticulitis...again.

they're kicking my rear. nausea, lack of appetite, back pain, etc, etc. what with the damage done by therapy (dr said stop, no more), I'm a wreck.

then the dr pulled me off valsartan, my bp med, cause the fda recalled it because, gasp, some of it has a carcinogen in it. oh, nice to hear...

he put me on benicarbut I'm going to have to call him due to erratic bp and palpitations.

getting pretty fed up with drs.
