I don't know if they do or they don't. And this is the first that I have
heard of acidophilus milk. Lemme look this up. The first mention I see of
acidophilus milk is 1983. And it does say that buttermilk has it. But both
of those things are moot points since the very Dr. I was seeing at the time
told me to stop drinking milk when I was 16. It was giving me serious
stomach issues and causing acne. My face cleared up after I stopped
drinking it and my stomach got some better. I was still eating some cheese
because I had not made the connection yet that it was all dairy that was
causing me a problem and of course there were other problematic foods that I
was still eating at that point in time.

But... None of these foods are usually enough to help to balance out an
antibiotic. You'd have to consume tons of them. Much easier when taking a
pill. Plus, I was being treated for a sinus infection at the time and dairy
products are best avoided with sinus problems as they are mucous producing.

I do not eat *any* dairy, even. I have a severe dislike for sour cream and
even when I did eat dairy, I wouldn't eat anything with it in there. And
true Mexican food does not use sour cream.

All of you here are missing the point. To tell someone to eat yogurt when
taking an antibiotic to prevent a yeast infection is just plain poor medical
advice.
