Best probiotics after antibiotics

Posted by questions2244 @questions2244, Aug 5, 2023

Hello,

I’m looking for help identifying the best probiotic to take after 10 days of antibiotics. There are so many options. I have been taking florastor but not sure if I should continue that since I have a tendency to get yeast infections. What is best for preventing c diff and vaginal health? And for how long? I’ve asked pharmacists and they seem to say anything but the research seems to be more strain specific.

Thank you

GE,
I take regularly RisaQuad recommended by 2 of my doctors.

I too take florastor. I had c-diff in 2011 and was in the hospital and they gave it to me then and my specialist said to continue. But that was a long time ago so do not know what is really recommended today.
I know the studies say that probiotics do not prevent C-diff. But do they help repopulate the intestine with healthy bacteria????
And I have avoided broad based antibiotics since 2011 (it was amoxicillin given me by my dentist that caused my C-diff)
