I don't think Acidophilus "kills" anything, it puts back the microflora needed for digestion.

I take 400mg of Doxy a day. It kills all the bad bacteria and the good too. So this "millions of organisms" in a pill, helps me replenish the good
enzymes i need for a healthy intestional flow...
lol...if i don't take it i wanna [puke]

hope this helps you a tad.

NO, did not herx because it is not a KILLER like ABX.

Acidophilis is just restoring good balance to digestive tract, it can kill other bacteria/yeast by way of starving them out.

My experience is I herx with or without acd. But my life is much better with it because it replaces the flora that the abx destroys. It doesn't make sense to not be on it.

If you're taking THREElac you could herx. It contains yeast killers.

Most acidophilus wouldn't make "most" people herx.
