I need to clear up a huge misconception about antibiotics, yogurt, and probiotics (beneficial bacteria).
Clients regularly complain about all kinds of stomach and yeast issues during and after taking antibiotics. And then they ask me: "If I eat a lot of yogurt, isn't that good enough to put these good bacteria back into my system?"
The answer is "No!". You definitely are not getting enough (or much at all) of the right strains. It can take YEARS to get your intestines back to 100% normal after taking antibiotics, and the sugar-filled pasteurized dairy yogurt often can make things worse.
The most effective way to fix the antibiotic damage is to supplement with a good probiotic like HLC Intensive both during antibiotic use and for at least 2 months after in order to recolonize the good probiotics in your body. If you're trying to replenish with yogurt, you'd have to buy organic full fat yogurt with no sugar and consume a huge amount each day for 1 year and hope it works.
Still not sure if you need probiotics? If you have any ONE of these symptoms regularly, you need to take them:
Symptoms of Deficiency in Probiotics * Bloating, Gas & Indigestion * Constipation * Diarrhea * IBS * Yeast Infections * Candidiasis * Difficulty digesting dairy
At Rockwell Nutrition, we carry the very unique line of HLC Probiotics which are made with strains identical to those found in humans (as opposed to those with strains from cows). As such, they are readily recognized by our body, effectively implant, and improve your gut function dramatically! They contain no dairy, wheat, or gluten.
Over my 12 years studying in the nutrition industry, I rank HLC Probiotics in the Top 3 Most Important Supplements for your health.
