Does acidophilus cures yeast infection?
Yes, but acidophilus is only half the answer to curing a yeast infection. Acidophilus is the "good bacterial" that helps fight the "bad bacterial" otherwise known as yeast. In order to maximize the benefit of acidophilus for curing yeast infections, it's important to also eliminate sugar from the diet. Yeast feeds off of sugar (such as breads, cakes, candy, sugar enriched products) therefore, acidophilus can only fix half the problem of a yeast infection. Cutting out or at least reducing sugar will fix the other half of the problem. Acidophilus does take some time to work, so be patient.

Is acidophilus a good germ?
First, you need to be more precise, 'acidophilus' is not the name of an organism, but a species-denominator which can exist in several genera. 'Acidophilus' usually denotes that the organism (bacteria) prefers an environment of lower (more acidic) pH. There are for example: - Sulfobacillus acidophilus, a bacterium which can live with sulfur as the sole source of energy - Methylosinus acidophilus, a bacterium which uses methane as its energy source and many more. I assume your question refers to Lactobacillus Acidophilus. This bacterium belongs to the same genus as the bacteria which are used to ferment yoghurt, for example and is in fact contained in some products. This bacterium naturally colonizes the human gastrointestinal tract, vagina, mouth and the parts of the male ureter. It is harmless and in fact helps to prevent the growth of yeast and less-beneficial bacteria on those epithelia. So in fact, you could call it a good germ.
Does acidophilus affect birth control?
no
Can you take omeprazole and acidophilus?
No. Acidophilus does not kill bacteria, like an antibiotic does. Acidophilus replenishes your body's supply of what are known as "healthy" bacteria, which is a type of bacteria that you need to digest food, and other reasons. Antibiotics often kill both unhealthy and healthy bacteria, meaning they get rid of infections but also kill the healthy bacteria in your body. Acidophilus can be used to get that healthy bacteria back to normal levels.
What is the seven levels of classification for Lactobacillus acidophilus?
