Sometimes this group is atrocious in their lack of response. Do you pick and choose who you like or don't like to respond to? I have read many posts of people praising the effectiveness of using probiotics to help through the Big 3treatment yet only one person bothered to respond. What is up with that. What have I done to warrant being ignored? I simply asked for what KIND of probiotics to use for the Big 3 side effects because there are literally thousands advertised but for different conditions. Do I need to quit this group because no one wants to bother to help me?

I noticed your post about being fired from your pulmonologist. Sorry that happened.
Sorry you feel this way: "Sometimes this group is atrocious in their lack of response."
I myself have a hard time finding time to read our Mayo Clinic Connect every day with all I have to do for myself, especially being single and no support, which is on top of what I, we, need to do to clear mucus from the lungs. So please understand that at times it will take a day or so for replies.
Now that you have a few replies you have much to decide with all the suggestions, and in itself can be overwhelming. Hope your search and decision for an antibiotic choice comes easy. I know for me it was somewhat of a research project. I decided for my first try the Sprouts Women's Advanced Daily Probiotic. 80 Billion CFU. But that might be too much for you, 80 Billion CFU.
Help will always be here for you.

Hi doberdoo, I just started yesterday on 3 antibiotics (Arikayce, Linezolid, and Nuzyra) and also now investigating probiotics. In the past, I have had good luck at Vitamin Cottage. I was in not long ago, just looking at some supplements and the first person I spoke to really could not answer my questions, so she directed me to someone that was quite knowledgeable. I plan on going back in soon and seeing if the same person is working. If so, I will message you. I will also take "cwal's" advise and do a search on this site. Good luck to you!
