You must take probiotics with Doxy!

[Guest guest]

As one who suffered through almost a year of Cdiff (clostridium

difficile), I can tell you all who are taking Doxy or any other broad

spectrum abx, to PLEASE take probiotics with it! And not just yogurt.

The abx kills off all the good flora in your GI tract, as you all know,

& when that happens & your immune system is down, you can develop

Cdiff. And believe me, that is rough. I ended up in the ER twice with

it & lost 30 pounds in 3 months. Please take probiiotics! I took

Culturelle, Primadophilus reuteri, Florastor, & VS#3. I have to stay

away from broad spectrum abx now for fear of a recurrence, but if I DO

have to take Doxy, you can bet I will be taking all those probiotics

again. Actually I still take Culturelle all the time.

I can't stress enough how important this is.
