Brief Answer:
Yes, you can take the probiotic

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for your query.
The anti TB medicines would be absorbed from the gut in about an hour or so. So you can take a probiotic after lunch and / or dinner.

Do get back to me if you have further queries.

Does not affect TB treatment

Lctobacillus remains in the gut only , it does not produce any illness and it does not interfere with your anti TB medicines.
Yogurt contains lactobacilus and it is like having a cup of yogurt every day.

You are always most welcome to clear your doubts and am happy to clear your doubts.
However this question is not clear for me. Are you having a problem with your motion when you are taking Entergermino continuously? If so what is the problem, is it loose motion or is it difficulty in passing motion ( constipation)?
Entergermino is not an a essential medicine and can be discontinued any time.
