Ok I have a question about all this:
I am pregnant, also I am on an antibiotic right now for a finger infection (wierd I know), which is more powerful they say than the one I was on 2 weeks ago for a sore throat/head cold thing. TOmmorrow is my last day of the 5 day series of doses. I am supposed to get more if I am not "better". I think my finger is now better. I have been eagerly awaiting getting off of the antibiotic and righting my system, because it has given me massively worse indigestion than what I had prior to being on it, as also happened with the first one, which also gave me a yeast infection. I am a little ticked at my doctor for giving me an antibiotic over the phone for what was essentially a headcold, but she's a doctor, what do you expect?
And I was in trust the doctor mode.
So I have alittle bottle of some acidophilus which I have not tried yet, and i have acidophilus milk, and lots of yogurt in my fridge, neither of which has been helping. So I have been waiting to take the stuff in the bottle because I figured the antibiotic would just kill it anyway. It's pills I think. I borrowed it from wingsofdawn. Then I am reading in this thread that you should actually take it, but at diferent times, or starting prior to the antibiotic? Or is it pointless in combination with the antibiotic, and I am right to wait? Also it appears to be a target product with 100 million active lactobacillus acidophillus blah blah blah....
So i have been thinking, since I have had so many yucky digestion related issues excluding vomiting since I became pregant, that maybe probiotics would help. Any experience with this?
