Probiotic recommendations

I’m currently on a very large dose of antibiotics three times a day. The dr recommended probiotics so that the antibiotics don’t tear my stomach up. Problem is, now I’m overwhelmed by all the choices. Is there a certain kind of probiotics that you have used and like? TIA!

The brand doesn’t matter and neither does the total count. The best thing to look for is the number of strains, 10+ strains with 30 billion is where you want to be

Prescript Assist is perfect for this.
Game changer after a round of serious ABs for me.
Soil based, too.

The researchers asked volunteers to finish a course of broad-spectrum antibiotics and looked at their intestines after they’d also taken probiotics. The probiotics did effectively “colonize” their gastrointestinal tracts, but they did so at the expense of the normal gut microbiome, delaying the return to its normal, pre-antibiotic state by several months.
It’s not proof of harm, but it is known that lower microbial diversity after antibiotics can lead to increased susceptibility to a myriad of chronic and infectious diseases. Thus, the low level of diversity permitted by probiotic colonization and the ensuing delay they cause in returning a person’s gut microbiome to the pre-antibiotic state suggests that probiotics may not be harmless, as most seem to think.

Interesting, but only if an individual's pre-AB state included a healthy gut.

IMO, the current science shows that probiotic supplements at best just do not work. I think it might be analogous to micro-nutrients in pills not being bio-available like they are in food.
