on anti-biotics a couple years ago ight it constantly. The least little increase in carbs or sugar and I’m done.

PROBIOTICS - always should be taken when taking antibiotics. As we know, antibiotics kills all bacteria - bad or good - and the good bacteria needs to be replaced.

I learned the hard way. There are many kinds out there; but, back then I got the refrigerated probiotic. In your case, I'd go for the strongest and the purest.

Sorry about sending a suggestion - but this one I KNOW about needed to say it. Not one MD every told me about it - one did say, 'sure, eat some yogurt'. Not good enough when you get to this stage. My was fine powder - put the suggested dosage in some water and drank it.

Metmom, you WILL get through this!

I’ve had these problems well before I ever did antibiotics. I’m old enough to have been raised pre-anti-boptoc use. I didn’t really start them until my early twenties.

I have tried and continue to try different acidophilus and probiotic supplements. I have to be careful about what else is in them. I’m amazed at the number of them that have lactose or dextrose in them. Sugar is NOT what you want to give someone who has yeast problems and needs the supplement. It seems more than a bit counterproductive.
