I tried a variety of different time frames.
I've also had doctors including Gastroenterologist say to take Pro-biotics AFTER antibiotic treatment is over and not during.

If one can't during the antibiotics do the probiotics than for sure after treatment. If after treatment one is having problems, still, I would think we go back to the response of "everyone is different." Also, it might, might, mean that there is some sort a gut problem from before the antibiotics????
We need to build the good bacteria in our gut, as you know, while taking the antibiotics. I just started taking 2 - 3 oz. of raw kombucha, the gingerade, once a day....and do other probiotics in preparation of starting the anti biotics.

My Gastroenterologist also told me not to take them until I was off of the antibiotics and at that point start them. I chose to start them anyway.
