Re: -- Widely used heartburn and ulcer drugs such as Nexium, Pepcid and Prilosec reduce germ-killing stomach acid

Acidophilus is a bacterial strain that is non-pathogenic. It is used after Antibiotic therapy to 'seed' 'good bacteria' in the gut and prevent over-growth of naturally present 'bad bacteria' which were not susceptible to the Antibiotics used. Clostridium difficile is naturally present in approx 30% of the population and only becomes a problem when it is allowed to over-grow, usually as a result of Antibiotic therapy for a non-gut problem, which has reduced the number of 'good bacteria' competing with it for food. Treatment of C. difficile is by use of oral vancomycin or metronidazole.

Also, standard ulcer-healing treatment uses H. pylori eradication, as this stomach-dwelling bacteria has been implicated in relapse. Usually two Antibiotics and a acid-lowering drug are used.

Kindly do not post about which you obviously know nothing.
