Yakut while taking antibiotics

I've got to take Amoxicillin 500mg x2 twice a day plus Clarithromycin 500mg 1 twice a day to treat H. Pylori. I've bought some Yakult to have as well to help my stomach as I'm worried the antibiotics combination is going to be harsh. But now I am wondering if the Yakult will make the antibiotics ineffective given the reason I need to take them.

I don't think it'll do much good whilst on antibiotics (which may well kill them off) but it certainly won't do any harm

And it's likely to be very beneficial as soon as you stop

It won’t do neither good nor bad because it is simply a sugary milk drink 🤷‍♀️

I’ve recently started drinking kefir and think I can see an improvement in my gut health. Might be worth giving that a try.
