PS When I take only Theralac, I take two a day when on abx. Right now, I'm taking the Wholefoods Probiotic twice a day and I throw in Theralac when I think about it.
The Wholefoods [or NuFerm] contains the s.boulardi so I'm making sure to take that one for now.

There is some evidence that probiotics can actually disrupt your immune response, so it is probably best to only take the bare minumum necessary for normal BMs while on antibiotics.
Personally I've found Theralac to be the most effective & in fact the only probiotic that doesn't cause diahhrea.
On MP, antibiotics are taken at most every other day in doses so small that these intestinal issues mostly disappear. I still take 1 Theralac capsule every Friday, when I remember.

I use a variety of brands, and I take between 10 billion and 140 billion organisms a day. it is a big step up from the 1 billion i used to take. It has made an incredible difference to how I feel.
