    It’s generally a good idea to take some probiotic after antibiotic treatment.

      For best results, take one antibiotic concurrently with every probiotic food/drink!

      Especially when you get sick and have to take antibiotics … I take a few more probiotics to replace all the biotics that got wiped away.

    I just think biotics have a right to choose. Which is why I’m pro-biotic.

    I am also a yogurt.

    “Probiotic” mostly refers to substances like yogurt that actually contain live beneficial microbes.

    “Antibiotic” mostly refers to substances that are based on the ones produced by one microbe (like a Penicillium mold) to attack a different microbe (like an infectious bacterium).

    So, both involve the action of microbes to help you; the difference is that one you want to cultivate in your guts, and the other you want to help fight off other microbes.

    Would that make prebiotics neutral since they’re on the fence?

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
