What are the benefits of taking probiotics?

I just bought a bottle of probiotics containing 5 billion live bacteria per tablet. I was recommended this by a friend because I get frequent stomach aches but am wondering what exactly do probiotics do?

Taking probiotics with antibiotics?

I was diagnosed with cellulitis today (due to some faulty ear piercings.) and my doctor prescribed me the antibiotic Keflex. I’ve already taken two today (I have to take 3 a day for ten days) and bought some probiotics to keep a good bacteria balance in my intestines since antibiotics kill both bad AND good bacteria. So, with that said, how often should I take these probiotics, how much, and is this a good thing to do opposed to just eating yogurt?

Can I take probiotics while on antibiotics?

My stomach is a little upset because I haven’t been eating probiotics when I normally do every day (because I’m on antibiotics.)
I’m wondering if I can eat some Activia while on the antibiotics or if it would negate the effects…
the antibiotics are for a bladder infection, not sure if that matters.

Thanks! :]

Does anyone have any experience with taking probiotics…?

I’m interested in trying probiotics after seeing an ad for Culturelle. I’m pretty sure I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, but I want to avoid going on a pharmaceutical medication for it. According to the ad for Culturelle and their website, it sounds like it could be helpful. Any thoughts?
