Are you dairy-free? If so, you probably want to stick with

a dairy-free probiotic. A lot of them are grown from dairy

culture and do contain dairy. I react badly to dairy-based

probiotics, and it is not so simple as an allergy (emotional

reaction). So just want to alert you to possible concerns

with dairy.

Custom Probiotics seems like a good bet, if you can get it.

I cannot speak from personal experience with it, as I am using

up other products I have, but I plan to get it when I run out.

It looks like a good product and the price is excellent.

I have had personal experience and benefits from products by

Natren, Genestra, Metagenics, and RenewLife.

I think taking probiotics between doses of Flagyl makes sense.
