Answers:
I take a probiotic supplement every day. Probiotics are basically "friendly bacteria" that help restore the natural, beneficial balance of bacteria in your digestive system. My supplement contains Lactobacilus acidophilus, Lactobacilus helveticus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Streptococcus thermophilus. They help break down lactose in dairy products (helpful if you're lactose intolerant). They also help with good digestion overall, plus they even help keep your immune system running a bit more efficiently. :)

As far as I know, it is SAFE to take probiotic supplements with anything and everything! :) However, you might have to take more of them if you go on a round of antibiotics, since antibiotics often kill the "good" bacteria along with the "bad". That's why people sometimes get diarrhea, gas, yeast infections, etc. during or right after going on a round of antibiotics.

Other Answers:
yes it is safe also good for yeast infections.

Acidophillus is in alot of yogurt, and should be safe enough. Make sure you are taking the "active" type.
