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… 🫤

Yes, no dairy/calcium for a minimum of two hours, my understanding also. Don't want calcium interfering with the antibiotics ability to be fully absorped into our systems. Also don't want high fiber or acidic foods at the same time you take the antibiotics from what I understand. My understanding is that all suggestions have to do with absorption or trying to keep from irritating the stomach while taking the antibiotics.
