Probiotic: You can take probiotic while you are taking vancomycin. There is a host of different probiotic brands. Of course, each claims superiority over other brands, but they are all pretty much on par. I like flora brand just because I am more familiar with it but it doesn't mean that it is better than others.

See below : Take vsl#3 and florastor probiotics 1 tablet of each twice a day for 30 days. Take them during and after your vancomycin treatment course. You can take probiotic foods with your probiotic capsules ie. Yogurt, kefir or lassi. Good luck and get better.
