Re:Has Anyone Ever Heard **Gobo & Chris**- IMPORTANT!!

[Guest guest]

Just an FYI...

If you are taking antibiotics, such as Flagyl or Cipro.. eat LOTS of

Live Culture yogurt and take (between doses of antibiotic) large doses

of l. acidophilus, l. bulgaris, Strep thermophilus, & bifido bifidum.

You can get it in one product, as a rule- I use Sundown's Acidophilus

Xtra, but there are many brands available. Sundown is available in

Wal-Mart. There are also refrigerated versions of this product at

healthfood stores. If you start them before the antibiotics, it can

also help.. but DEFINITELY take them with and after!!
