Yet to prevent any potential issues or if you already have digestive or immune problems – or stress –, it might still be a good idea to take probiotics during antibiotic treatment (as far apart as possible, i.e. if you take your anitibiotic in the morning, take your probiotic at night) and for about six to eight weeks after. Certainly, if you are getting diarrhoea from your antibiotics, probiotics are the way to go. In that case, you might want to see a naturopath to make sure you take the right stuff and that there isn't something else going on. A naturopath may also be able to help you pick a probiotic strain that is resistant to the specific antibiotic you take. It is important that you discuss any problems with your doctor but don't expect them to know as much about probiotics as a well trained naturopath.
