Recommendations
When taking Antibiotics not only are the bad bacteria killed off, so are the “good” Bacteria in the Gut. So using a Probiotic to re-populate the Gut with “good” Bacteria may alleviate certain side effects like diarrhea. It will also aid in digestion even after the Antibiotics. Remember while giving any Antibiotics in the water, always give the Probiotic on the food.
