One, I do take an enzyme to help me break down food. It's called Similase. Both acidophilus (sp?) and lactaid don't work for me at all. I've tried. Two, even if yogurt doesn't have lactose in it, it doesn't change the fact that it gives me very painful gas. Three, my mother won't take me to get soy yogurt. Four, I would have asked the pharmacist for a substitute, had I been the one picking up my medication. Unfortunately, my mother didn't realize the problem when the pharmacist was explaining the "eat some yogurt to help with diarrhea side effects" part. Five, whoever said to get a different pill is obviously not good in this area. Most antibiotics can cause diarrhea and the only way to get rid of the strep bacteria is to take antibiotics. So really, I don't have much choice about the pill. Just some clarifications. Thanks. :)

Take the gas, and take peppermint capsules and lie on your left hand side to relieve it. Or try some lactose-free probiotic stuff.

They make soy, rice, almond (+other assorted nut ones), and coconut milk yogurt...

I think they only recommend the yoghurt. I'm pretty sure you can find a good substitute.

umm, you do know that soy yogurts exist for lactose intolerant people and serve the same purpose. :)
They're trying to prevent Clostridium difficile overgrowth. You can take lactobacillus pills instead of eating yogurt with the same benefit. You should be able to find lactobacillus pills at the pharmacy.

Quit your whining. I'm so lactose intolerant that milk gives me diarrhea if I look at it. You don't have it that horrible. Stop being a baby.
I think you missed the point of the FML.
I would think that by now doctors would prescribe lactose free pills. That's a really shitty situation.

I vote gas, at least u can do something rather then sitting on the toilet
Gas is by far the lesser of the two evils. Would you rather go through a roll of toilet paper in 2 hours, leaving you with a sore ass and a raw rectum from all the wiping, or amaze your family and friends by playing some of their favorite jazz tunes with your flatulence?
