The COPD Foundation is partnering with another patient organization to determine if the use of probiotics and other supplements might offer these patients some relief from these side-effects.As we begin to organize this study, we need to determine how many members of our community are affected and whether those that are impacted feel this an important problem to address. If you suffer from stomach and digestive problems as a result of frequent antibiotic use, we would very much appreciate it if you would post a comment detailing your experiences and let us know whether we are targeting an important question.Please take a moment and let us hear from you by posting your thoughts
