Is it though? Don’t most probiotics just get destroyed by stomach acid?
Honestly if your going to take anything following a strong round of antibiotics, it’d be a fecal-matter transfusion, not oral probiotics.
Comment on Pro-biotic and anti-biotic are both considered good things.

It’s generally a good idea to take some probiotic after antibiotic treatment.

No. The biggest issue is antibiotic causing a decrease in biodiversity, and the new probiotic being unable to populate due to the advantage of the existing bacteria occupying the sacks that make them able to colonize.
Your best bet is a rigorous and never ending probiotic rich diet. I think you are barely even making progress then as well.

I couldn’t find much info on it, tbh. I was just going off what my BIL (a Pharm.D) had described to me in passing and took his word for it.
I mean, since I’ve started taking a fiber supplement and making soy milk “yogurt” at home, I’ve been having some of the best but health of my life.
The yogurt is like the easiest thing ever, too. I just open two probiotic capsules (~25M active cultures) into a quart-sized gum-free soy milk (basically shelf-stable from Trader Joe’s or Westsoy), shake it up good, divvy it into 5x 8floz mason jars…use riser and 8oz water in Instantpot, set to Yogurt, venting, for 14hr.
I take one of those and mix it in with ~60g Trader Joe’s ancient-grain rolled oats and maybe some raisins, let it sit overnight, add some agave/honey/maple syrup…makes a great filling breakfast.

That’s why I occasionally put yogurt in my butt.

No. That’s why eating probiotic food helps diversify your gut microbiome.

For best results, take one antibiotic concurrently with every probiotic food/drink!

yeah, getting some good biotics after killing the bad biotics!

The problem with antibiotics is they kill the goodbiotics too. They just love killin.

That’s why you need prebiotics, duh.
