So we promised juicy insider celebrity gossip. But first, some valuable advice!
My lovely nutritionist sent me some info regarding how to take antibiotics and importantly, build up your immune system at the same time. Enjoy!
How to use Antibiotics:
If you have to use anti-biotics, then use them concurrently with pro-biotics (acidophilus) to get the best results without getting intestinal tract problems. If you take your antibiotic once a day, at breakfast, then take your pro-biotic at dinner or bed time. If your antibiotic is taken twice a day, at breakfast and at dinner, then take your pro-biotic at lunch and at bedtime. Try to have at least a 3 to 4 hour interval between taking the anti-biotic and the pro-biotic. That gives your body time to absorb the anti-biotic and get it into your blood stream. Then pro-biotic can safely alleviate the damage done to the gut bacterial population, without reducing the effectiveness of the anti-biotic. If your bowel habits change (softer, runny, you are gassy smelly, etc.), then you need to increase the amount of pro-biotic you are taking. If your antibiotic is taken more frequently then do the best you can. If your anti-biotic is given through IV then you can take your pro-biotic anytime.
This is great info. A friend of mine had to take anti-biotic's and he ended up losing all his good bacteria so now he is taking pro-biotic shots to get his system back to normal.
