Hey guys! Hope everyone is having a good day

My question is:

When is it best to take probiotics? I take my meds in the morning, at lunch I take all my vitamins and probiotics, then at night I take my other half of the meds along with milk thistle and curcummin.

Should I be taking my probiotics at night?

I have been told that so long as they are taken at least 2 hours either side of the antibiotics it does not really matter when.

I would also take them at night..a couple hours after your last dose of antibiotics. This way the good bacteria can populate throughout the night.

I've read that two hours apart (antibiotics/probiotics) is the minimum and four hours apart would be better. But, there doesn't appear to be 100% agreement. My belief is the further apart the better.

Here is a brand of probiotics a naturopath recommended to me, if you're needing some suggestions:

Good luck!

I always took/take them at night. I used to use theralac but now just use now brand. I presume they are doing something, but I haven't noticed my stool is 100% back to a 4 on the bristol test yet (TMI, sorry)
