    It’s generally a good idea to take some probiotic after antibiotic treatment.

      Is it though? Don’t most probiotics just get destroyed by stomach acid?

      Honestly if your going to take anything following a strong round of antibiotics, it’d be a fecal-matter transfusion, not oral probiotics.

        No. The biggest issue is antibiotic causing a decrease in biodiversity, and the new probiotic being unable to populate due to the advantage of the existing bacteria occupying the sacks that make them able to colonize.

        Your best bet is a rigorous and never ending probiotic rich diet. I think you are barely even making progress then as well.

          I couldn’t find much info on it, tbh. I was just going off what my BIL (a Pharm.D) had described to me in passing and took his word for it.

          I mean, since I’ve started taking a fiber supplement and making soy milk “yogurt” at home, I’ve been having some of the best gut health of my life.

          The yogurt is like the easiest thing ever, too. I just open two probiotic capsules (~25M active cultures) into a quart-sized gum-free soy milk (basically shelf-stable from Trader Joe’s or Westsoy), shake it up good, divvy it into 5x 8floz mason jars…use riser and 8oz water in Instantpot, set to Yogurt, venting, for 14hr.

          I take one of those and mix it in with ~60g Trader Joe’s ancient-grain rolled oats and maybe some raisins, let it sit overnight, add some agave/honey/maple syrup…makes a great filling breakfast.

          It also helps that I started adderall at the same time and that gave me an insatiable thirst and I started drinking a lot more water.

            I dont like probiotic “capsules”. I dont trust them to actually contain bacteria that will steer my stomach in a good direction in the long term. It is only really good for taking sporadically (stomach flu, bowel movements looking undigested, diarrhea) if that even.

            If you have taken adderall, you might easily be conflating certain effects when it comes to digestion. I also feel finer in the stomach when dopamine is pumping inside me. Does not mean its good for the stomach, just that dopamine is good at relieving introception.

              I’m going solely off the quantity and quality of BMs. I started taking the fiber supplement a few days after the adderall because my psych had suggested that it could cause diarrhea and my quality wasn’t particularly great to begin with.

        No. That’s why eating probiotic food helps diversify your gut microbiome.

    “Probiotic” mostly refers to substances like yogurt that actually contain live beneficial microbes.

    “Antibiotic” mostly refers to substances that are based on the ones produced by one microbe (like a Penicillium mold) to attack a different microbe (like an infectious bacterium).

    So, both involve the action of microbes to help you; the difference is that one you want to cultivate in your guts, and the other you want to help fight off other microbes.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS
