Probiotic ?

I take my herbals without my probiotic. I want to give my herbs space to work and get to those bugs. I don't want it competing with my probiotic that is trying to make good new bugs.

So I do my herbals morning and evening and I do my probiotic at lunch or mid day.

However, I am not a doctor or pharmacist and I am new to all this. This routine just kinda made sense to me, so I too look forward to everyone's answers.

But should I be taking them TWICE a day now instead of ONCE a day because I'm now taking my herbals TWICE a day instead of once?

I was only taking my probiotic once a day because that is how many times I took my herbals, once a day. But now that I'm taking my herbals TWICE a day do I need to start taking my probiotic twice a day... to protect my gut from the added dose of herbals I added in the evening?

Sorry, hope I'm making sense what my question is. Sometimes I word things confusing! :)

I know how to space them apart from the herbals.

I have never heard of anyone taking too much probiotic. I see exactly what you are saying. You're thinking that the probiotics should be proportional to the antibiotics.

For my antibiotics, my doc had me take them morning and evening and said to take 1 probiotics in the middle. He said if I found I had any stomach or bowel issues to take 2 in the middle.

Just take the one dose and see if you have tummy or bowel issues. Add another probiotic anytime you feel you need it. Middle or late evening. You will have to find out what your body needs.

I bloat like crazy if I forget my probiotic.

how many times you take probiotics is largely an old wives tale. what is true is taking them a few hours separate from abx. i'm taking VSL#3 which is considered to be the superman of probiotics to rebuild your gut or help with any deficiencies. its refrigerated and delivers 350 billion organisms to your gut. you take it before a meal. works wonders just do the research to validate.
