Rosie - this is Pamela - my probiotic is dairy free - it is made by Jarrow and called Ultra Jarrow Dophilus - 50 billion per capsule. I take it mid day with applesauce just after lunch as I take my meds for MAC after dinner so I try to keep them separate. As to your cough, early on when I first began the meds for MAC my cough got much worse and I was coughing up stuff I could not believe - my doctor had the sputum tested for pseudemonis, and that is what I had, above and beyond the MAC - has to be treated with Levofloxacin. Once I got on that, it cleared up within 3 weeks and no more coughing up terrible stuff - you may want to get a test for pseudemonis, just to rule it out. Pamela

@pamelasc1, Pamela, that is REALLY interesting! When I am coughing so bad I think my ribs are about to crack .. I just think it must be my Bronchiectasis or Reactive Airway Disease and just put up with it .. Hmm .. I NEED to listen to my own preaching and be my OWN best advocate! I just never thought of things like Pseudomonas .. not to be crude .. but what color was your sputum .. that could be a tip off for the rest of us. Pamela, thank you for this info .. it is helpful for all of us. Hugs! Katherine

Hi there,I had pseudomonas this past fall. I had to have a PICC line inserted & 21 days of IV antibiotics. I've been coughing for 10 years now but the pseudomonas cough was quite different. I had a overwhelming amount of mucous when I would lie down for bed. I would wake up "drowning" in mucous in my airways. It was just awful & jarring!!! The sputum had a distinct taste, smell & color (dark gray & dark green). This was when my bronch culture hadn't completely grown out yet to show the MAC, but the MAC was there during the time that I had the pseudomonas. Yucky stuff & not to be messed with! ~Jen 🙂

Hi, this is Kathi again. Just thought i would check in since i havent posted for a while. I am doing great on these meds. By following Pamala's schedule of taking my meds between 9-10 at night-all at one time, i am no longer sick all the time. Im even back singing in the choir and my energy level is improving daily. I was losing weight (which i didnt need to do, but a 94 year old choir member told me to get Carnation Instant Breakfast and mix a scoop of ice cream in it daily. She said when she was in the hospital in St. Louis, she was told to do that. Its been good because i get more of my daily vitamins and minerals. I use skim milk, so i get my daily calcium. I go for a CT scan tomorrow to see how i'm doing. My doctor will be happy that i no longer am sick from the meds. With all the encouragement on this forum, i kept going and it DID get better. Thanks , (21042) Kathi

Really like the idea for weight loss: "skim mild, Carnation Instant Breakfast and mix a scoop of ice cream in it daily. She said when she was in the hospital in St. Louis, she was told to do that." I am going to put that one in my File Cabinet . good idea! Thanks for letting us know how you are doing .. good to hear from you! Let us know how your appointment goes! Hugs! Katherine
