I have two difference questions:

1. I see that I cant take my probiotics with abx, but my zithromax says to stay away from probiotics and magnesium supplements. I thought some of my herbs were magnesium but I cant remember. I am taking smilax, ALA, B-complex, omega 3, and cilantro. Are those ok to take with the zithromax?

2. What type of probiotics does everyone use? I am taking something called Flora Ultra 20-14 once a day. I am reading that when you take mepron you should have at least 40 billion, the one I take only has 20. I can take 2, but it is pricey. Just wondering what other ones are out there.

Thank you!

You need to take probiotics if you're on antibiotics especially.

Just don't take the probiotics before your antibiotics...as the abx will kill the good bacteria.

I take HMF Forte , Kefir, Bio-K, and a Natural Factors capsule.

I like to take a few different ones.

I don't see any magnesium in those supplements listed. (except I'm not sure what the smilax is.

1. The only probiotic that I know of that can be taken with ABX is Sacchromyses Boulardii (Floristor).

2. I've taken VSL#3 DS, Theralac, Dr Ohhira"s, and currently trying VitaCost 15starins-35 billion. I also hear that the Custom brand is pretty good.
