From: Fran Henry Date: 10/26/2007 9:48:25 AM To: showgsd Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Probiotics Do those of you who give probiotics have recommendations? I have a male who's been on antibiotics for a long time and who is having problems with diarrhea. I've tried yogurt and pumpkin -- they helped, but not enough. Flagyl helped too, but it's another antibiotic. Thanks in advance. Fran Henry >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hi Fran, In my research, probiotic is just a part of the equation required for cleaning up long term antibiotic usage and likely Candida Overgrowth. Administering long term antibiotics creates an imbalance in **yeast** in the body...... everywhere. Please Google **CANDIDA**. Now, while most research deals with human Candida Overgrowth... Is there really a difference in either species in terms of how the bodies work? Reflecting on the length your dog was on antibiotics, could this be the problem? There are remedies for Candida Overgrowth and specific diets. Hopefully, this info can aid in your decision making.
