Probiotics When You Are Taking Antibiotics
The colon is packed with good bacteria, probiotics, that combats bad
bacteria and keeps it under control. Probiotics are also found in
the mouth, urinary tract and vagina.
Probiotics create the B vitamins in the body, help digest food, keep
hormones balanced and help reduce cholesterol.
Antibiotics kill all of the bacteria that live in your
intestines. This can create serious problems for your good health.
Without the good bacteria, bad bacteria will take over. Most of
these are fungal yeast. Yeast can cause diarrhea, constipation,
skin problems, bloating, fatigue, headaches, joint aches, and allergies.
So, if you take antibiotics for any reason, you should take
probiotics during and for at least after
the course of antibiotics.
The best probiotics to take are lactobacillus, bifidus, acidophilus.
Probiotic supplements and yogurt that contains live cultures are the
best way to replace any lost good flora. |
