Pro mean with: and bio means life. Probiotics help the GI system digest food. Anti means against. So, if one takes excessive antibiotics (which are sometimes needed) they can kill off the good bacteria in our GI systems and we can have digestive problems. So, the probiotics replace the good bacteria that are missing or low. Look for a variety of strains. Dr. Ohira's is a good brand.

Most antibiotics… : most antibiotics are fairly easy to tolerate, but anyone can have a reaction to any medication. If you have a problem with a particular antibiotic, contact the doctor who prescribed it. One caveat to all antibiotics is that they can alter the gut flora, making infection with C. difficile possible. This can cause severe diarrhea, and it is something to keep an eye out for if you are on antibiotics.
