Antibiotics that kill gut bacteria also stop growth of new brain cells
Supposed you want to prevent antibiotics stopping the growth of new brain cells in the hippocampus, are you supposed to take probiotics simultaneously with antibiotics to prevent this situation, or take probiotics only after you finished the whole antibiotics treatment?

Good thing I own a nootropics company! LOL. Yeah, antiparasitics and antibiotics are not ideal, but I have to make sure I kill them all. If I don't, they can burrow through my intestinal wall and into my blood stream. Then they can move on to other organs like my liver. Once that happens, treating it gets much more difficult and damaging. There was a recent story of a woman who went to Mexico and got a parasite there. She didn't get sick till she got back to the states. Then she waited to get medical attention for a bit. Now they are having trouble figuring out what parasites she has, and she has been fighting it for 9 months. It's much better to get immediate testing done at a hospital so they can know exactly which parasite it is, then get immediate treatment with IV antiparasitics and antibiotics as soon as you can. Plus, Mexico deals with parasites more, so they are better suited to diagnoses than most US hospitals who likely don't see them very often. It was pretty impressive how quickly they got my blood and fecal results. It would have taken much longer in the states, because most hospitals wouldn't have a microbiologist there capable of immediately identifying a parasite in a stool sample. Of course I went to a nice (expensive) hospital. It might be different with regular local hospitals.
I am taking four capsules of Visbiome a day right now. Two in the morning and two in the evening. You want to start taking probiotics the day you start antibiotics. I always take large doses during the antibiotic regimen, then slowly taper down to a normal dose after the course is done. That seems to be the best way to keep your microbiome from getting too wrecked. I also take prebiotics.
