- Natsu 11y agoThat is interesting. In my case, I was on two courses of antibiotics (a 7-day course and a 10-day course) during which I did not see improvement or use probiotics. It's only when I started the 30-day course that my doctor told me about probiotics. I started the probiotics at the same time as the 30-day course and saw immediate improvement. Perhaps my problems were caused by a lack of beneficial bacteria while your troubles were caused by some type of infection? Or maybe it was only the 3rd antibiotic that cleared something out of my system?
- jstelly 11y agoThere is a condition called Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth that fits this description. There is even an antibiotic that is marketed toward and prescribed for the condition called Xifaxan / rifaximin. Neomycin (another antiobiotic) is also used to treat it. This research lab is studying it and this doctor (Pimentel) has written a book about it: http://www.cedars-sinai.edu/Research/Research-Labs/Pimentel-Lab/ http://www.cedars-sinai.edu/Research/Research-Labs/Pimentel-...
