Probiotics, How often? How long?

Hi,

After a recent run of IV's I've added Activia Yogurt and Acidophilus pill supplements. I've been eating one yogurt at dinner and taking one Acidophilus pill each morning for about a week and a half. It seems to be helping some with gas and other undesirable IV side affects. I'm now back to my old fashioned maintenance of Septra DS and Ceclor daily. A basic Google search say use acidophilus for about a week. So, considering I've been using oral antibiotics daily forever, how long should I maintain the Probiotics regimen? - Thanks!

My daughter takes a pretty high does probiotic every day. The few times I have run out and she has not taken it for a couple of days she has more digestive issues.

Hi Steve
I'm not familiar with Septra DS and Ceclor (I'm from the UK). What bugs are they used to treat? Pseudemonas?or something more unusual?
Always interested when I hear about different antibiotics!
Thanks,
Sarah

Hi Sarah, Septra is a generic, I think, for Bactrim DS, which is sulfamethoxazole/trimethopr. This is supposed to be mildly effective in treating pseudomonas. Cefaclor is a generic for Ceclor. This drug is supposed suppress staph and strep.

Steve the blend I have does not have acidophilus, it has 9 different strains of Lactobacillus and a few strains of bifidobacterium. There have been some great threads on here in the past on what strains of probiotics are best and which ones should be avoided.
