Probiotics

[anthrax]

Are you taking Probiotics ?

They are thought to regulate the composition and activity of gut flora and thus help digestion and absorption of the nutrients

some fermented yogurt are rich in probiotics

 

[SubjectiveIllusion]

I believe probiotics can be necessary when antibiotics are being taken, otherwise don't go overboard!

you have to make sure the bacterial load in each ingestion/serving you are taking is high (i forget, over 2Mil bacteria i think) otherwise not that much will survive the trip through the stomach

ive never notcied anything extraordinary when i was munching them. maybe i ddnt give them enough time

are you talking about acedophillus and other digestive bacteria?! i saw those at GNC, thought they were just another marketing crap...and yea, antibiotics do kill those, that's why it's generally not advised that you consume dairy prodcuts when on antibiotics (because of calcium and the fact that you kill the bacteria that digest lactose(acedophillus and such..))..
