Navigating The Lists Below:
Pain sufferers are often prescribed probiotics, but for a variety of reasons.
First, “Probiotics for-use-with-antibiotics” is for patients taking large antibiotic loads that tend to strip the gut and cause diarrhea and wasting. That list below contains probiotcs that help the gut retain nutrients and slow the gut down.
Secondly, “Probiotics for rebuilding” is specific for patients trying to “rebuild” their gut health after any sort of treatment or illness.
Lastly, “Probiotics for keeping the gut moving” is for patients that are on medications that are slowing down their digestive track. In addition, those meds may be interfering with the absorption of other supplements, vitamins, and such that the patient needs. Pain killers most especially tend to constipate. As Always: Medical Disclaimer Below.

Below is a good list of the main strains of beneficial bacteria. The microorganisms are freeze dried and put into caplets by the billions. You can by them separately or in groups. They are very beneficial in groups as they tend to have various supportive strengths! Ask your doc how many Billion to work up to. It’s not unheard of to take 200 billion in a day.

Bifidobacteria
L. Salivarius
L. Rhamnosus
