0:00.0	After five days, the symptomatic improvement in those given the probiotic was 82%.
0:08.4	And in those on the antibiotic, it was 52%.
0:12.5	So to those who may lead you to believe antibiotics are better than probiotics, it's contestable.
0:20.5	But I would certainly say there's enough data to say
0:23.9	you should use a probiotic and perhaps you will have a better symptomatic response and
0:29.8	Cibor Resolution rate when using a probiotic.
0:47.4	Welcome. Welcome to Dr. Rucho Radio, providing practical and science-based solutions to feeling your best.
0:56.1	To stay up to date on the latest topics, as well as all of our prior episodes, make sure to subscribe in your podcast player. For weekly updates,

2:04.5	but it's not necessary. Always check these things with your health care provider,
2:08.9	but I just want to share with you the fact that we don't need to have you spend time or money
2:13.9	on testing because, again, as this study beautifully illustrates, you can see

2:24.2	There is more evidence here, though, about the utility of a low Fobab MAP diet.
