How MAC patients have tolerated taking the 3 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).

You seem to be quite a researcher yourself! I just don't like not knowing enough about something that important. I am determined to do what I can to tolerate the antibiotics and not have to interrupt treatment. No, I didn't select this one because of weight gain reports although that would be a great side benefit 😃. I was just trying to find a probiotic that included recommended strains for Azithromycin, Ethambutol and Rifampin and this was the closest I could find. I am going to research SEED Daily DS 01 in case I need to make a change in the future. Thanks for sharing that. I find there is not much guidance on probiotics. Even the pharmacist was not much help, all he could tell me was what was most popular.
