They also kill the bad stuff that causes all the problems. If you think that probiotics are a panacea that will solve IBD on their own, good luck. That doesn’t fly in most cases. Taking antibiotics with probiotics is often a waste of money because the antibiotic may kill the probiotic or reduce its count. My GIs in the past were against probiotics as a method of effective treatment of IBD as opposed to a dietary supplement, and the two objectives should not be confused with one another.
