A member asked:

Just had big dental surgery and finished 7 days of amoxicillin. may it be wise to take probiotics to increase good bacteria for an unsettled stomach?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes to Probiotics: "pro"-biotics put good organisms into your gut (unlike "anti"-biotics which kill bacteria) & include: lactobacillus, acidophilus, bifidobacter, sachromyces boulardes, to name a few. Most are available over-the-counter & need to be taken daily to maintain the probiotic organism population. Benefits include: less gas, regulated bowels, prevent infections, improve digestion, decrease inflammation.
