We all know how important probiotics are for everyone. Let alone people on antibiotics, let alone people with Lyme Disease. It is important to take a wide variety of probiotics. Take at least 2 different brands & rotate them. Also, drink things like kefir & kombucha to get additional strains of the "good" bacteria and in different ways. Take your probiotics at least 2 hours away from your oral antibiotics.
S. Boulardii is important. It is not easy to find in a health food store. It is known to prevent & help combat the dreaded C. diff. You would want to take this in addition to a probiotic with several different strains. The infection usually occurs after the person has been started on broad spectrum antibiotics, which kill the good bacteria, allowing C. diff to take over. The bacteria release toxins which destroy the lining of the intestines, producing severe diarrhea and inflammation. With certain strains of the bacteria, infection can be overwhelming and deadly.
Below is THE BEST probiotic on the market. You can't find it in health food stores. Ortho Biotic is a probiotic that is formulated to NOT be refrigerated and for good reason. This is one of the most comprehensive probiotics out there. It's shelf stabilized, so it doesn't require refrigeration. What that means, as with any of the other shelf stabilized probiotics, is it has food in the pill to keep the bacteria alive (the alternative, of course, is to refrigerate the pills/bacteria so that they don't die). But refrigerating a probiotic introduces moisture which can cause another type of bacteria to start to grow which is no bueno for the bacteria we want.
These are a variety of other probiotics featuring different strains of bacteria.
