You need probiotics!!!

I remember taking a course of antibiotics while I was trying to stabilize because I got a cat bite at the shelter I volunteer at. I started taking a soy yogurt probiotic called "Bio-K" (do a board search, LOTS of info will come up) and it worked WONDERS. When I started the antibiotic I had horrible stomach aches and BAD diarrhea. But the Bio-K really balanced everything out and I felt great immediately!! Do you have a health food store near you? I know you can purchase it at Whole Foods, but you might have to make some calls to see if a health food store near you carries it. It is pricey, but you start out with a small amount (1/4 of a bottle twice a day) and gradually increase it. Remember to leave a few hours between taking the probiotic and your antibiotic!!

Good luck!
