[cindybordes]

my husband is on antibiotics for 6 mths, for STAFF infection. I've heard he should be eating yogert. Why? and what else should he be eating?

Hi,
How is your husband? A healthy diet and multivitamin supplements will help if he is taking antibiotics for six months. As selma mentioned, baseline blood tests and post-treatment should also be checked. Regular follow-up is also recommended for monitoring of side effects. Take care and best regards.

Hi...antibiotics kill all bacteria..the good with the bad...we need the good bacteria to break down foods we eat....I would think, hope that ur DH's dr would have given him something to supplement that even a probiotic to balance out his system.
Yogurt has some of the good bacteria, but I do not think it is enuff for 6 months of antibiotics.

I would also be sure he is checked for yeast issues when he is finished with the meds.
