Antibiotic setback - probiotic recommendations?


Recommended Posts

[Mi...]

Unfortunately I had to have oral surgery only one month out from a problem with one of my Medications.  Was trying to stabilize.  This whole ordeal set me back.  I already was struggling with appetite - it’s now worse and I have weird reactions to what I eat.  Can anyone recommend a probiotic? I’m honestly scared that will rock the boat too but not sure what to do. 
thank you

Raw goat milk Kefir (gave me back firm stool with better nutrient absorption)

fermented pickles (suppose to help with dopamine and serotonin production in the gut, Havent tried myself yet looking for an address to buy them as we speak)

GUM probiotics (something like this if you have inflamed gums or other dental mouth issues otherwise skip it) https://www.apohealth.de/en/products/gum-periobalance-lutschtabletten-30-st-tabletten?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwqre1BhAqEiwA7g9QhvwGDgwvM1C7DSd958Do9KTre0xTOvS3uzxj_l0hTo58KWItFxTgsxoCRR4QAvD_BwE )


Get some sunlight it might help with better appetite as well as looking forward to something tasty to eat. 
Try to somewhat eat at the same time like breakfast and dinner your body gets used too that and your digestive system will make itself ready for that time window. like saliva production.
Optimizations.

Hi @[Mi...],
I have taken Florajen Digestion probiotics for years, while still on my benzo and all through my taper with no issues.  I realize that everyone is different and that starting something during this is always iffy, but you can open the capsules and take just a little at a time to see how you react.  I mix it into a spoonful of applesauce to take it.  I have found that while before my taper, I could take them on an empty stomach, I now need to take them with food, but they work either way.

 I was prescribed a steroid shot and Azrithromycin wich did not agree with me and caused a wave . Old benzo buddy Moosecharters ( who by the way holds the record for trips to the ER) recommend Align prebiotic + probiotic I complained because it's $19.98 , but it's fantastic.  Don't get the Chinese knockoff,  get Alighn.
