    Default Best form of probiotics...

    Backstory: I have a bacterial infection in my digestive tract and was given flagyl to take. I ALSO have yeast in my digestive tract and was given 1 pill of diflucan, which I took. Now, I've never had a traditional yeast infection in my life, so this was extra weird. Anyway, I want to take probiotics so the yeast won't get worse from the antibiotics. I've been drinking bio-k shots once a day, but now the health food store is out of them. I bought some kefir today, and have been eating plain yogurt as well. Oh, and kombucha has live cultures in it, so I bought that.

    I guess my question is, what is the best form of probiotics, and does it matter if I take it on an empty stomach or not? I've already cut out wheat/gluten/sugar and I drink a ton of water. I just don't know how I got so sick...

    bio-k is the best, so boo that the store is out. Try live culture pills, perhaps.

    Just want to ake sure you're spacing your probiotics out from your antibiotics by 2hrs...otherwise your antibiotics wont work.

    ^^Good to know about the spacing thing. That's helpful, as I was eating the yogurt as a meal since I have to take the flagyl with food! Why don't pharmacists/doctors tell you this stuff? I should have known SW would be more helpful!
