A member asked:

Starting my second round of antibiotic, this time levaquin (levofloxacin). is align a good probiotic to take with it and also drink keiffer? worried about diarrhea.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not sufficient!: Align is great for maintenance, but when you are given potent antibiotics (such as levaquin), you need a broader range and higher colony count of bacteria: closer to 25-50 billion to offset the effects of the antibiotic. Take it separate from the antibiotic and for at least 6 weeks after you finish the medication. Kefir is great as is yogurt, sauerkraut and other fermented foods
