Off Antibiotics right now and am wondering how long I should continue taking the probiotics? Obviously they are needed with ABX but I have been on 3 VSL at night along with 160 billion 2 x during the day . Does anyone have any idea?

That is a ton of probiotics. I am on 100 billion a day and 1 florastor daily. I have heard continue probiotics at least 2 weeks after antibiotic use.

Hope this answers your question.

If you are eating conventional food (non-organic), you should probably use probiotics, or at least fermented vegetables, indefinitely. Pesticides can act as antibiotics in our guts, killing off good probiotic bacteria. These need to be replenished to keep the part of the immune system housed in the gut functioning optimally.

Probiotics are essential to good health if you've had a chronic illness.

You may not need as many probiotics, but don't stop taking them!

I agree, keep taking them.

Yes I will keep taking some, but the VSL is so expensive I have dropped from three a night, to two a night to one a night. The yeast has finally cleared up so hopefully that won't be a problem again.

Still working up to more drops per day on the Byron White A Babs.

I know I would not be as well as I am without the help of this group. So thanks for being there.

I am a C. Diff. survivor. I will never stop probiotics again (!) until I run out of money.

Please watch closely for issues to come up - you are still using abx herbs with the Byron White products.

Margaret - is the c-difficile you got from taking antibiotics?
Is that how it happens...or do you need to be exposed to a certain bacteria, too.?

I have read about C diff scary stuff glad you are ok.
I am only on Byron White right now no abx.
