Why should I eat probiotics along with antibiotics?

Probiotics help to restore and maintain healthy microflora of gut. Probiotics improve bowel movement and stool consistency. However, in chronic constipation, they need to be combined with enough intake of fiber, water, regular exercise and overall healthy diet and lifestyle.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), is a functional disturbance of the digestive tract with a spectrum of presentations ranging from: abdominal pain, constipation to diarrhoea As definitive diagnostic tests are not available for IBS, clinical criteria are frequently used to arrive at the diagnosis. To put it in a different way, patients with IBS remain a mixed-group recognised mainly by their symptoms.
