Purchasing Probiotics:
- Sometimes your Lyme-literate doctor will have probiotics on-site and you can buy them there.
- You can ask your pharmacist at your local drug store where they keep their to-use-with antibiotics probiotics. These probiotics are sometimes not with the other probiotics, but instead they are in the irritable bowel area.
