A new meta-analysis looked at multiple clinical trials in adults to see if probiotics help prevent diarrhea caused by antibiotics.

The review combined results from 15 studies with over 7,400 participants.

The main finding is really helpful!

People who took probiotics had a **significantly lower risk of developing antibiotic-associated diarrhea - **about a 40% reduction compared to those who didn’t take them.

The study also suggests that probiotics may help reduce infections like C. difficile, which can cause more serious GI problems and even be life-threatening.

Key factors that help the probiotics work here:

Start taking probiotics early in the course of antibiotics (within the first two days)

Take the probiotics separately from the medications (try at least two hours apart)

Overall, the study concluded that probiotics can be very helpful in preventing antibiotic-related diarrhea in adults.

But - results can vary depending on the probiotic strain used.

See here for the ** best strains of probiotics** for this use and some brands that use those specific strains.

You are not alone.
