When taking antibiotics such as Amoxicillin, one should ask one's doctor about taking probiotics with it. My dentist gave me Amoxicillin 500mg for ten days for a dental procedure. On the tenth day I developed terrible diarrhea. It was C-difficile caused by the antibiotic and I ended up in the hospital for a week

Vic- Good morning. I totally agree with you about probiotics, especially this one, Amoxicillin. I take an advanced probiotic by Alaya. That's terrible that you for such an infection! And a week! That's a long time to be in the hospital. I hope that you are well on the mend and back to life!
Amoxicillin can kill good bacteria, causing C. diff is:
C. diff can affect anyone. Most cases of C. diff occur when you’ve been taking antibiotics or not long after you’ve finished taking antibiotics.
Now that you are out of the hospital and getting on with your life has another CT been scheduled?
SIde effects are
Severe diarrhea
Fever
Stomach tenderness or pain
Loss of appetite
Nausea
Just reading these symptoms leads me to know that I'm very glad that I took a probiotic.! I take them every day, but especially when taking an antibiotic.
