Antibiotics happen. Most people have used them at one point or another. But antibiotics don’t have to create a disaster in your gut.
.
Choosing the right probiotics (i.e., B. subtilis, S. bouardii) that can actually improve how well antibiotics work is a plus.
.
For example, tired of recurring UTIs? B. subtilis along with antibiotics has been shown to be significantly more effective than antibiotics alone at reducing recurring UTIs.
.
SIBO anyone? Adding S. boulardii has been shown to increase the success rate from 25% with antibiotics alone to 55% with those same antibiotics and S. boulardii together. (Though I personally still strongly recommend a high dose of immunoglobulins as step one for SIBO issues).
.
But choosing probiotics that work well with antibiotics alone isn’t enough. You need probiotics that help prevent the damage associated with antibiotics.
.
What strains offer this?
• S. boulardii
• B. clausii
• B. coagulans
• B. subtilis
.
When your doctor tells you to take probiotics to help with issues caused by antibiotics, please consider these strains. They are proven to work.
