That explains some of the confusion! Probiotics are just the "friendly" bacteria that we all need to have in our gut. Most people have good levels anyway, but extra can be helpful, especially with IBS. Also, antibiotics wipe these bacteria out along with the bad bacteria! Not good. So it's sensible for anyone who takes an antibiotic to take a probiotic at least for a while after they've finished the course, and with ISB it's even more important to replenish the little blighters asap! They don't interact with other medications or herbs in any way as far as I know.
