I have found from past use of antibiotics that my digestion suffers. I have used probiotics to help with the problem and am wondering if and how you recomend taking probiotics with Amoxil. ## your not really supposed to take other things with the drug.talk to your doctor about your digestion problems ## Now a post from back in February. You really are into the antibiotic posts. Yes, some things you take can effect how well a drug works for you, so you shouldn't take anything, even over the counter items, without consulting your doctor or pharmacist.

Should I double up on probiotics when taking cefpodoxime to protect my digestive tract? ## The FDA lists the typical side effects of Cefpodoxime as possibly including nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. As to the probiotics, while they can help, there is always a risk of taking too much of a good thing, thus it is best to stick with the normal dosage, if you are going to take one. Recent NIH studies have found complications in people that are overusing them. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am taking amox clav 875 mg 2x/day with little to no side effects. If you will take a probiotic (eg. acidopholus) or eat yogurt with live and active cultures when you take this medication (or any antibiotic) you will avoid or significantly reduce the side effects related to the gut, especially diarrhea. The probiotic/yogurt replaces the good gut bacteria destroyed by the non-specific antibiotic. Hope this helps. ## Hello, Iteechum! Thank you for the very helpful post! I'm sure many people will find it useful. I'd also like to add that this can be helpful for women that may be prone to getting yeast infections from taking antibiotics. Are there any questions or comments from anyone? ## I take a probiotic once a day. Can I take 2 pills when on amox clav? I have a UTI infection. #...

I am currently taking Bupropion and a probiotic which slightly suppresses my appetite. I will be starting Belviq this week (still waiting for it to be delivered) and I'm concerned about the interaction with the probiotic. I have been weaning myself off of the Bupropion, but should I discontinue the probiotic also?

bacillus mesentericus TO-A JPC 1 million, clostridium butyricum TO-A 2 million, lactobacillus 50 million, Streptococcus faecalis T-110 JPC 30 million formulations are being marketed as pre-probiotics. However there is conflicting information about Streptococcus (enterococcus) faecalis being an opportunistic pathogen. There is not much scientific data about the other two species either in peer reviewed journals. Would like to have more details ## I know Wiki isn't a peer reviewed journal, but it does state many facts on E. faecalis that align with what you're stating: E. faecalis (Enterococcus faecalis) can cause endocarditis and bacteremia, urinary tract infections (UTI), meningitis, and other infections in humans. That said, it is in fact a pathogen. Apparently Streptococcus fa...

Can I drink milk immediately after I take sucralfate with water? Also, can I take a probiotic with sucralfate? ## Can I take probiotics with sucralfate 1gm 3x a day ## Hello Vince, According to the manufacturer's directions Sucralfate is to be taken on an empty stomach with a glass of water so the body can properly absorb the medication. This would be the appropriate way to take the medication unless your doctor has given you different instructions. Reportedly it is safe to consume food and beverages 30 minutes after or 1 hour before taking this medication. I was unable to find any interactions listed between Sucralfate and probiotics but please be mindful that when preparing to mix any type of medications it is important to consult your doctor and primary care physician.

I take a very high quality probiotic that kept away thrush, I then was prescribed amoxicillin after I had suffered a few days of a flu, so I stopped my probiotics for the length of the antibiotics. The thrush has returned. I've completed the antibiotics, had enough for 1 weeks dosage. I've upped my probiotic & am eating extremely healthy, should the thrush clear up. I suffered with it for almost 3 years then these probiotics did clear it up. I'm in a lot of pain please help. ## Hello, Taz! How are you? Antibiotics can cause thrush, as a side effect and stopping the probiotic while taking them may have allowed it to get out of control, again. Other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Ha...

I suffer with TMJ disorder. I am taking acetyl l-carnitine, probiotics, and nerve shield. None of this seems to be helping me. I don't know what else to do. Please help me!!! ## Hi Tee, I'm so sorry to hear that these supplements haven't been working for you. Did a doctor recommend that you take these supplements? Based on my research, the best supplements for TMJ are ones that will reduce inflammation of the jaw as well as relax the muscles. All of the supplements you've mentioned seem great, but I don't quite understand how they can be effective for TMJ. Have you tried any other treatments like acupuncture or essential oils? The essential oils lavender and chamomile may help you to relax and release the tension in your jaw. Also, copaiba oil has immense anti- infla...
