A member asked:
How long after antibiotics will it take to replenish my gut with probiotics? and is 100 billion day a good amount?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probiotics: are best taken 30 minutes prior to a meal or with a meal that has some fat content. Peace and good health. Dr. Ohira brand is a good one. Look for multiple strains in the product rather than the amount of each strain. Peace and good health. Two to four weeks will likely do the job. Your diminished symptoms will let you know.
