Hello

Hello,

The yellow fungus has been fairly prevalent over here in the US. They believe that the use of Albon because it destroys the natural normal flora bacteria in their tummy & causes imbalances in their systems & GI tract. Overuse of antibiotics greatly increase the chances of yeast type buildups which can start some terrible internal fungus problems.
Using a probiotic along with the use of Albon or any other antibiotic does decrease the incidences of yellow fungus because it helps to replenish the normal gut flora of bacteria in the GI tract & restores GI balance.
