I would not be on this board today if it weren't for doing exactly what your "experts" advised!

ArtKen, That is exactly what I did..took Cipro without a probiotic to counteract what would happen to my gut. I started probiotics afterwords and by that time it was to late...the damage had been done.
I've been on probiotics religiously for over 2 1/2 years and last winter, when I couldn't shake a respiratory infection I took Zithromax...........WITH, I might add, a healthy dose of probiotics the entire time. The Zithro worked and kicked the infection........and not once did I have any gastro complaints.
So to this I say hogwash....if it came down to NOT taking an antibiotic at all because the probiotic would negate all the "killing" affects of the antibiotic I'd say to H* with the antibiotic and drink tons of pau d' arco tea, and tank up on a few other supplements that are known to kill infections. It just may take a little longer. Remember always, "The body wants to HEAL itself".
Until these docs have walked in someone's shoes who has been there, I'll trust what my gut tells me, not them.
Sorry, but this irks me to no end... I'm not a red-headed-Irish-woman for nothing. Kandee
