Are you taking 1 pill every 12 hours?

About an upset stomach, nausea, etc when you're taking antibiotics...

Doctors sometimes mention that you can eat yoghurt to replace the friendly bacteria that the antibiotic are killing along with the unfriendly ones. Which process is causing the nausea.

But they don't tell you that for yoghurt to work, you really have to eat a bathtub full of it. There just aren't enough of the friendly critters in a half pint of strawberry yoghurt to do you any good.

If you go to the healthfood store and get acidophilus, though, and take several capsules of it between antibiotic pills, it will miraculously make the nausea, chills, etc go away. Acidophilus is kind of like an extremely concentrated yoghurt culture. Billions and billions of friendly little things instead of a few measely million.

I get horribly sick after even one dose of antibiotics, but I'm fine if I take acidophilus. Even during full month courses of strong antibiotics, which is what I've had to take for repeat Lyme disease, I've felt okay, because of acidophilus.

You will want to buy the kind that is refrigerated at the store.

My doctor now tells all his patients about acidophilus when he prescribes antibiotics...

Feel better, Fox.
