Hi Everyone – Not really a podcast this week but hope you find it useful/entertaining. Would love feedback. The video can also be found on YouTube at http://youtu.be/QUW0Q8tXVUc . If you like it let people know.
In episode 211, Mike and James bring you brief reports of studies that reinforce previous messages. We go all eclectic from honey to lubricant to steroids to salt to omega-3’s and much more. At the end we cross our fingers and hope our informed luck continues.

In episode 210, the Mikes and James discuss the evidence for probiotics for preventing antibiotic induced C. difficile and antibiotic induced diarrhea. We find that the evidence is solid and consistent and supports their use. At the end of the podcast we all get tired of the bathroom humor and decide to retreat to our individual thrones.

1) Tools for Practice
Do probiotics prevent Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea in patients taking antibiotics?
