   For the "What" people:

   Generally when you are on antibiotics, they kill off a bunch of useful bacteria in your body too. So I was always told by doctors not to forget to take probiotics to help with the digestion issues. But as far as I can tell it doesn't seem to be a practice to warn vagina-having people that antibiotics kill off the OTHER flora in your body as well. Go figure.

     @TarkabarkaHolgy No doctor ever said anything about probiotics. I have seen an add for digestive probiotics during antibiotics in a pharmacy once.

     So ... are these two kinds of pills? How can I find vagina probiotics, what are they called?

     @GreenSkyOverMe Apparently there are several different kinds. But I'm going to ask my OBGYN about it at one point
