antibiotics and acidophilus . . .

[seethroughstars.livejournal.com]

I'm on 500 mg 2x a day of both Biaxin and Cefuroxime for Lyme disease. It makes the yeast in my vagina very happy, as it kills off its mortal enemies know as the Vagidophilus Bacterius. Thus allowing the yeast to take over and rule my crotch.

So in order to stop the constant Vagidophilus genocide (perhaps genicide or gynocide?), and turn the tide against the foul yeast beasties, could I insert acidophilus capsules into enemy territory (aka my vagina)? Or would it somehow hurt the antibiotics I'm taking? I know I cannot take it orally too soon before or after taking the antibiotics (because then they don't work) and the less time I'm on these bad boys the better.

edit: Has anyone here taken Biaxin before? One of the most unpleasant side effects for me is the constant bad taste left in my mouth, unless I'm eating or drinking. This doesn't help my already sensitive stomach and is generally not cool. Does this go away after a certain amount of time?

It shouldn't hurt the antibiotics at all. Good luck in your yeast battle, I know they can be evil things.
