has anybody taken azithromycin and amikacin

Hello, I take Jarrowdophilus 2 times a day. Can you tell me the name of the additional probiotic with saccharomyces boulardi and one of rhammosus? Many thanks.

Hello. Yes- and I order both on Amazon. The Florastor comes in bottles of 100 and has Saccharomyces boulardi. It recommends 2 capsules taken one to two times daily. I do one time with 2 caps. The other probiotic is Culturelle that comes in a box of 60 caps at one per day. It is the Lactobacillus rhamnosus and also has 200 mg inulin (a prebiotic).

When I had to take Augmentin, which is a bit hard on the gut, I got a little loose stool and started also taking Mega SporeBiotic. The sporebiotics resist antibiotics and are actually taken with food. I take the Orthomolecular probiotic blend capsules and the Culturelle and Florastor about 30 min before breakfast and then take one Sporbiotic with breakfast. When I added that Sporbiotic, it totally nipped the little bit of loose stool, and it stopped later that day. I have continued to take it. You might look it up and read about sporebiotics. You don’t need more than one. I also take a scoop of high quality bovine collagen each morning on an empty stomach with the probiotics. My gut has never been better. My appetite is great, too. We need to take care of our gut micro biome and lining, in order to maintain our immune system and to ensure that we absorb what we eat. A good digestive enzyme also helps as we get older. Everyone is different, but these things have worked well for me. The powdered colostrum is through my GP office, but you can access it online as well. Just before you get one that is well absorbed. It helps to close the junctions in leaky gut and makes the probiotics work better. After you take it daily for a while, you can ease off to every other day. Makes a world of difference. Sometimes I wonder if a messed up gut from antibiotics contributes to antibiotic resistance. I wonder if they have done any research into that. Anyway, I hope this information is helpful.

Thank you so much for this information. I am definitely going to look into this and appreciate how specific you've been, learned so much more than i knew about these probiotics.

Hi, yes I took the big 3 antibiotics including the Amikacin. Well it will affect your hearing and tinnitus as in my case. At times the ringing was too loud that I had to stop and take a break for the day and restart the next day. Every body is different and overall I felt like light headache every single day and developed cramps in my stomach. But after few days your body will adjust and things will improve..good luck!

I am taking azithromyacin alone, 500 mg , MWF, and do not have MAC, according to my pulmonologist. Now I'm freaked out about that, as well as still coughing all night.

Rebecross, do they have any diagnosis?

I'm told I have bronchiectasis, but also that my response so far is atypical. I see Dr next week, and if nothing new is explored, I'll be getting a second opinion.
