Q: what is a good probiotic to take while on amoxicillin for divaticulis? i have to take antibiotic 3x a day for 10 days?

: Any can help. Probiotics are just CFU's (seeds) that allow helpful bacteria emerge/grow in your gut to replace the good ones killed by the antibiotics. Their consumption prevents antibiotic resistant "mean" germs from overtaking your gut &amp; causing problems. There are many available &amp; even found in yoghurt and some other foods.
