How MAC patients have tolerated taking the 3 antibiotics

Hello Harry. I am on the same 3 antibiotics that you are and I am taking California Gold Lactobif 30. So far I am not having any nausea or diarrhea from the meds. They do not contain dairy. I buy them online from iherb.com; $22 for 60. When I started the antibiotics, it was recommended I take a probiotic but no one could tell me which strains were best for these antibiotics. I wound up researching each of them and found the recommended probiotic strains. Then researched different probiotics and finally found the California Gold Lactobif 30. I take 1 a day at least 4hrs between antibiotics.

@mjb24, I cant believe that you did such a comprehensive research on each specific stain of probiotics. That is amazing! My nutritionist recommended SEED Daily DS 01 as it contains 24 good bacteria.
I checked the ingredient in your recommended probiotics, the top one is Lactobacillus acidophilus. Per below article, it says that this resulted in significant weight gain in humans and animals. Is this one of the criteria for you to choose probiotics?
Comparative meta-analysis of the effect of Lactobacillus species on weight gain in humans and animals - ScienceDirect
We identified and included 17 RCTs in humans, 51 studies on farm animals and 14 experimental models. Lactobacillus acidophilus administration resulted in significant weight gain in humans and in animals (SMD 0.15; 95% confidence intervals 0.05–0.25).
