If you need to take antibiotics for a serious bacterial infection, your prescription can result in a serious case of diarrhea. Research shows that there’s an easy, natural way, to ease that problem.The answer to your diarrhea problem is to take probiotics, supplements containing beneficial bacteria. Studies of more than 4,200 people show that probiotics reduce the number of people suffering diarrhea by almost two-thirds.
“In the short-term, taking probiotics in conjunction with antibiotics appears to be a safe and effective way of preventing diarrhea associated with Clostridium difficile infection,” says lead researcher Bradley Johnston of The Hospital for Sick Children Research Institute in Toronto, Canada. “The introduction of some probiotic regimens as adjuncts to antibiotics could have an immediate impact on patient outcomes, especially in outbreak settings. However, we still need to establish the probiotic strains and doses that provide the best results, and determine the safety of probiotics in immunocompromised patients.”
