Along the lines of the article that I am following up on (which
stated, in essence, that B-12 is manufactured by bacteria in your
body and that antibiotics can kill those bacteria) -

My doctor, knowing that I am a vegetarian and am unlikely to get
B-12 from red meat, etc., recommended that I take a tablespoon of
yogurt with every antibiotic I take.  Since I started that, I have
had no adverse reaction (stomach problems, strange swelling of the
tongue) to any antibiotic.  There seems to be no problem with mixing
the antibiotic with a dairy product (yogurt), also.

(Should this be in net.med?)
