Why not try probiotic auntnanny!

@nick52 Hi Nick....As I learn about probiotics...I begin to see the value more and more and I begin to see your point of view on the importance of good bacteria. Thanks for your good thoughts. I couldn't wait for mine to come in the mail so I purchased some locally...I doubled up (60 billion CFU) last night and think it intensified my gerd so I backed off today's dose and made some ginger tea as someone suggested yesterday. (Hope it helps) What amount do you take regularly? Kate

@auntnanny I am no medical expert, but it sounds like the mac is knocked down to a minimal amount. If you were on the Big 3 to get you to this point, your doctor may want to have you on it longer to try to eradicate it. Or, you might ask to be put on a 'maintenance' regimen of antibiotics to keep it at bay.

@auntnanny ...My ID doctor at NJH told me gold standard for treating is 2 positive sputum cultures (certain number of colonies still present after certain length of time) if found on bronchoscope then one is sufficient. Plus CAT evidence of active infection. Tdrell
