whenever I took antibiotics in the past, I've always taken probiotics because I'd end up with an yeast infection.

My boyfriend is doing a course of antibiotics to treat a long standing skin condition and yesterday was complaining of feeling poor so I gave him some probiotics. Out of curiosity I googled "when to take probiotics when taking antibiotics" and apparently it's a bit contentious to actually take probiotics. One camp says it interferes with the antibiotic's efficacy, and the other says as long as it's taken sufficiently away from the time you consume the antibiotics there's no harm.

I've never thought that it would even be an issue to take probiotics while taking antibiotics, my doctor's always told me to take them to prevent GI disruption and yeast imbalance.

What are your thoughts?
