So, this topic came up with a group of women in a conversation and now I'm curious.

If you have a vagina, and you have been on antibiotics before, did the doctor tell you to take BOTH kinds of probiotics to help with the side effects?

For the "What" people:

Generally when you are on antibiotics, they kill off a bunch of useful bacteria in your body too. So I was always told by doctors not to forget to take probiotics to help with the digestion issues. But as far as I can tell it doesn't seem to be a practice to warn vagina-having people that antibiotics kill off the OTHER flora in your body as well. Go figure.
