As an RNP, I’ve been on the fence about this one:

I think that you should take the course of antibiotics that your health care provider prescribed, THEN use the probiotic (think: Activia, Yoplait Plus, etc, the ones with the added bifidus regularis) to restore the beneficial flora in the digestive tract that the antibiotics destroy…..For a week 2 cartons a day (6 or 8 oz cartons, that is) should do the trick….Enjoy!!!

I would say an average and healthy amount of yogurt would be no more than 1-2 cups (which would be equal to about 2-4 of the normal serving sized packages)
