Several questions: 1. Cod liver oil, if you can tolerate it, is ok to take, even with a shellfish allergy 2. Probiotics are usually strains of lactobacillus species which may help to repopulate a GI tract flora altered by antibiotic treatment, and can be beneficial.

Cod liver oil OK: There are 5 main groups of seafood: bony fish (cod), crustaceans (shrimp), bivalves (clam), cephalopods (squid), gastropods (squid). There is cross-reactivity within each group but rarely between groups, so cod is ok with shellfish allergy. Probiotics are healthy but have minimal effect on mouth fungus (thrush). Most experts feel stomach fungal/yeast overgrowth doesn't exist.
