MAC patients: Did you take probiotics during your treatment?

I wonder if it is the timing of taking the probiotics during the day and or the dosage or other stomach problems that may exist at the time of taking the probiotics.
As with so many things we might do better taking low dosages and gradually building up to a higher dosage. Just wondering?? If what I have read, I don't believe it is suggested or best to take the probiotics at the very same time you take the antibiotics. Has anyone been told that?

I take mine in the evening after supper. Not usually on an empty stomach.

Hello, I checked with my pulm doc. He suggested, I not take the probiotics within 2 hours in case it may interfere with absorption of the antibiotic. The pharmacist I asked said, don’t take them within 30 mins. 😣 Because the doc mentioned absorption, I am waiting 2 hours… 🫤
