Probiotics are excellent.
Doctors used to use them when they first started using penicillin because they knew “antibiotics” killed off both good and bad gut bacteria.
However the prescription of probiotics with antibiotics fell out of the normal protocol. They are not technically ‘prescription’ so insurance doesn’t cover them, so they aren’t prescribed by doctors.
The fact people don’t replenish their gi trat with good bacteria is a very big cause of medical problems today, especially digestive problems.
Agree with everything you’ve said. In fact, using a natural antibiotic in conjunction with a probiotic is my first choice, not a prescription.
