Just finished a course of antibiotics?
Your gut needs some love.
Antibiotics can be essential, but they don’t just target the bad bacteria. They can also wipe out the good bugs your gut relies on for digestion, immunity and even mood.
Here’s how to help rebuild your gut after antibiotics:
Eat prebiotic foods: garlic, onion, leek, oats, bananas and asparagus feed your good bacteria
Add fermented foods: sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, miso and natural yoghurt
Consider a quality probiotic: a multi strain option can help restore balance
Load up on fibre and variety: aim for lots of different plant foods each week
Stay hydrated and rest: your body is recovering too
Go easy on sugar and processed foods: they can feed the less helpful bugs
Be patient, as gut recovery takes time. Small, consistent habits make the biggest difference.
