I have run out of the probiotic so I am in the stage where I continue as I previously did so that I can see whether this is durable, permanent, or whether it is something that needs to be part of a continuous self-maintenance program. The treatment, probiotic capsules taken once daily, is inexpensive and easy to implement. That is right up my alley.

I can definitely say without adding all the nasty details that my whole digestive process from top to bottom has improved dramatically, returning to a normal condition during the period where I took the probiotics beginning on the first day of combined probiotic/antibiotic dosing and continuing thru today with no ill effects and nothing but positive results to report. It remains to be seen just how durable the change will be. I have a spreadsheet of all dosing treatments and now I will be updating it as I see and note the effects of stopping the probiotic. Last night was the first night with no probiotic. I'm gonna let the chips fall where they will.
