Acidophilus and Antibiotics
Simple health tip: Acidophilus and antibiotics are two great tastes that taste great together.
Antibiotics are wonderful things, killing off all kinds of nasty stuff that can kill you. Newer and better antibiotics come along all the time, racing to keep ahead of all the mutating bacteria and other assorted crap.
However, there are always problems with anything. One inherent problem with antibiotics is that they will tend to kill off things in you that you don't want killed off. Vis a vis bacteria, antibiotics tend to run on a Republican philosophy: Kill 'em all, and let God sort 'em out.
This includes good bacteria that you are supposed to have in the intestines. Killing off these healthy bacteria thus often causes diarrhea for patients taking antibiotics. This has been a significant problem for many people.
Yet it is actually easy to avoid, if you know how to do it. Just compensate for what you're losing. There are at least a couple of simple ways to do it. One is simply eating yogurt. This is the commonly recommended dietary source for these good bacterial cultures. Delicious and nutritious.
Even better though, you can buy acidophilus pills as nutritional supplements. Five bucks will get you a two month supply at the Wal-Mart. If you're just on antibiotics for a couple of days with a flu, you might just grab a little yogurt. If you're on any more serious regimen, supplements will give you a cheaper and more controlled dosage.
