Activia

I recently haad a sinus infection in which I had to take an antibiotic for treatment.  I have been in remission for about 4 years.  However, now I'm having some mild negative activity with my colon.  I ate some Activia to counteract the antibiotic and my negative symptoms escalated.  Could it be the Activia?  Has anyone else had experience with this product good or bad?

It seems like it is more likely that the antibiotic caused your flare rather than the Activia. Have you ever had a bad reaction to antibiotics?

Activia has fructose, milk and corn starch in it, all which can cause IBS upsets. Many people here seem to have flare like symptoms when eating certain foods and it's probably affecting their IBS or sensitive GI systems. If there's a new episode of blood however, then its not from food.

There are better probiotics available than using Activia.

I'd agree with BeachGierl as well. The symptoms can be rather from antibiotic treatment, than from Activia, but.. Have you taken Activia before? I mean, before the sinus infection and antibiotics. If so, and everything was ok, the the meds for sinus infection are in the spot. On the other hand, Activia could add a thing or two, as it has some not too great ingredients. If you started it after infection, and not eating it before - I'd try some other probiotic , maybe even just a pills, to avoid the diary products for a while. I'm not lactose intolerant, but most of the diary products makes my gut to over work So, I've never even tried Activia
