Re: What is the name of the bacteria in your gut?

Glad you're happy, but there are a few questions:

"No, I am now getting a total of 1 trillion probiotics bacteria a day."

"you really can't take probiotics while taking anti-biotics"

Huh? So you are or aren't?

"The Antibiotics just kill off the probiotics (wasting them) and diminishing the effectiveness against the pathogenic bacteria." I'd REALLY like to know where you heard this! And why you are taking probiotics if you believe this?

"I had almost no beneficial bacteria in my intestines." A sign of candida.

"If someone takes Antibiotics and afterwards begins a high potency probiotic then it will be impossible for them to develop candida." Uh, again, I'm wondering where this info comes from...if you read the candida board, you'll find it is almost impossible to get rid of once gotten!

Since no one can find "hadnea", I have to assume it's a misspelling or something; could you verify this? Are you sure he didn't say "candida"?


I'm wondering how long this course of bactrim will last? And will your Acne come back when the Antibiotics are finished for the gut bacteria?

I understand perfectly your desperation...I was the same way...but it will be interesting to see what happens after the antibiotics end. And if you intend to stay on them forever, there is little doubt they will also affect you negatively.

Good luck, but it is probably wisest to go thru the WHOLE process before determining the consequences before recommending them, especially to young people in their formative years; they appear to help everyone in the beginning. But getting candida at 16 will affect one's whole life...it DOESN'T go away easily.
