The actual right time to take in probiotics

The article does a great job explaining why we should take probiotics, but doesn't get into the details of when to to take them.

My guess is that if a person takes a probiotic on an empty stomache, the stomache will simple break down the probiotics into food and you will lose the benefit of the probiotics.

My second guess is that one should take probiotics in conjunction with prebiotics. The question is when? Should one take the probiotics first then the prebiotics or the prebiotics before the probiotics.

How much time should lapse between the two events.

BTW: I understand that many things like leafy greens, cabbage or steel cut oats are considers prebiotic.

Some things like fermented sauerkraut, kimchi, fermented pickles and natto have both probiotics and prebiotics.
