A member asked:
Mom has ocular toxoplasmosis. on prednisone, and other meds. are probiotics safe or could they feed the parasites in her eye while they are active?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probiotics are safe: The probiotics are only going to populate the gut with beneficial bacteria to aid normal digestive health. They do not enter the blood and go elsewhere in the body.
