    3 courses of anti-biotics in 1 month

    I've just come off 2 courses of anti-biotics for 2 bouts of mastitis, the second was a super course which lasted 2 weeks. Suffice to say my immune system is shot. To top this off i've had hubby away, am exhausted and now have a chest infection, so now prescribed another course of antibiotics...

    I bought inner health plus only to discover it contains lactose which i can't have due to DS1 (breastfed) not able to tolerate dairy. Is there anything else i can take to help my immune system recover??

    Hun, I'm not sure what you can take, but I'm sure the pharmacist would know. If you can manage to get there, a naturopath would surely have some ideas too. Is there such a thing as pro-biotic soy yoghurt?

    Thanks Ajp, i actually used to take in-liven, i didn't realise it was pro-biotic as well. I stopped taking it after the price rise because we couldn't afford it. But if i can find out that it doesn't contain dairy i will get some because i felt great when i was taking it. I even slept better.

    MR, i'm not sure.. i have regular soy yoghurt here but i don't know if it has the same effect? they are actually pretty good at the health food shop nearby so if i can manage to get the boys out i will go and ask them.

    I can really feel what this has done to my system, before this i rarely had anti-biotics.
