[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 141463, member: 1991"] Actually, taking the acidophilus is sensible advice. It's the same (or better) than eating yogurt, because with the acidophilus, you KNOW you're getting lots of good bacteria, whereas with yogurt you can never be sure it's still viable. I keep a bottle of acidophilus and bifidus in the fridge, I add a small spoonful to cereal, shakes etc to keep the GI problems from antibiotics under control. It really does help keep thrush at bay. If you can tolerate yogurt, you can tolerate acidophilus. I do understand your feelings about it all, though - I get allergies and sensitivities and I've had enough of pills etc being shoved down my throat, or injected into my rear. It's got so that I have one antibiotic left that I can take, and I have to take it WITH food, WITH stemetil, and then rest and do nothing physical for several hours so I won't bring it all back up. I used to wear a small engraved medallion listing allergies, until I ran out of room on the medallion. Now I wear an "SOS Talisman" medallion, it unscrews to reveal a long strip of paper on which my allergies, my sensitivities, my doctors names and blood group etc are all listed. It saves me having to try to remember it all. husband has the paper layout in the computer so I can update medical details really quickly, print out another copy and carefully cut it out and fold it into the medallion. it's watertight, I can swim or shower and not worry about the paper getting wet and ink running. I've been very glad of it several times over the last few months - I've been in hospital three times in the last four months, each time it helped a lot to just unscrew the medallion and show them my piece of paper.
