Question 1

I'm told it's good to eat yogurt after taking lots of antibiotics. now i read eating alot of yogurt can actually cause disease, is this true?

Accepted Answer

The song says there's no such thing as too much fun, too much money, or a girl too pretty. Unfortunately, there is a problem with too much yogurt, or too much of almost anything else in life. The golden rule is "everything in moderation". Yogurt is mainly milk-sugar and it's byproducts, milk protein, and milk fat. Many yogurt items have added sugar. Sugar is likely the worst thing about yogurt.

Question 2

How long does fever last with scarlet fever and is it good for child to eat yogurt while on antibiotics. ?

Accepted Answer

Fever  may last24-36 hours.Yogurt is ok, but better to push fluids.

Question 3

If i eat yogurt and bathe in apple cider vineger wil bv eventually to away without antibiotics? antibiotics always give me bad side effects.

Accepted Answer

Sorry, yogurt or vinegar (apple cider or any other) will not help BV. You need metronidazole or clindamycin by mouth; or maybe try vaginal metronidazole (MetroGel); not as reliable as oral, but usually no side effects. Boric acid vaginal capsules also can be tried.

Question 4

Have been on cipro and flagyl for presumed diverticulitis, advised clear fluids and soft foods/dry toast for taking antibiotics. am i okay to eat activia yogurt to try to counter the diarrhea im starting to have, or should i be avoiding dairy?

Accepted Answer

If you're only a few days into treatment, probably it should continue. If near the end of the intended treatment period, maybe you can stop the drugs. Dairy probably won't make much difference either way. But each case is different; the place to ask is the office of the doctor or clinic treating you. Good luck.

Question 5

34 weeks preggo. guess i have an uti caused by gbs .  can i still drink probiotics and eat yogurt during the antibiotic (amoxicillin) treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can continue taking the probiotics and eating yogurt, but the antibiotics will just kill the probiotics, so better save your $ and wait until the course of antibiotics is finished and then resume the probiotics and yogurt. Wishing you a healthy, safe, joyful labor and delivery. I welcome your baby into this wondrous world. May you all have a long life together full of love and laughter.

Question 6

What does "cultured yogurt" mean? i know what yogurt is but is there a certain brand or kind i look for when buying this to take after antibiotics?

Accepted Answer

Cultured and pro-biotic are advertising terms. Take yogurt if you like, it will not do any harm.

Question 7

Had alot of antibiotics this year for illness. since eating yogurt daily, bm's have been more solid/regular. can the yogurt be helping?

Accepted Answer

Despite common advice online and elsewhere, there is no evidence that yogurt helps intestinal problems. It does not repopulate missing bacteria; the kinds of bacteria in yogurt do not survive in the intestines. The improvement in your intestinal function probably is just natural recovery from the antibiotic treatment. OTOH, yogurt certainly isn't harmful. If you like it, feel free!

Question 8

Wnen somebody has to be on antibiotics, is there anthing to do to minimize 2ndary c dif possibility (yogurt? supplements? etc.)

Accepted Answer

Washing hands frequently and thoroughly with hand soaps or sanitizers would be a great idea to minimize c. Diff risks. Antibiotics should be taken as directed but no more than advised.

Question 9

My wife is on antibiotics which have caused a lot of diarrhea. what can we do to reduce this symptom? already taking lots of yogurt.

Accepted Answer

Consider a probiotic that contains both lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacter.  Consult with your physician for additional testing to rule out c difficile infection as a cause of diarrhea.

Question 10

Can i take antibiotics with (at the same time) yogurt or probiotic drinks ?

Accepted Answer

Right now, researchers are studying whether probiotics can help fight or prevent infections in the stomach or intestines, including a serious infection called Clostridium difficile (also known as “C diff”). I routinely give my patients probiotics when antibiotics are given. There are no contraindication to take them at the same time.
