Had to go on antibiotics and worried about your gut health?
Here’s what to do:
First… if you genuinely need antibiotics, don’t be a fool and not take them. Antibiotics can be life saving and I’ve seen too many people try to fight real serious infection “naturally” and they end up pretty sick.
And if you need them, that is OK! (Also want to make sure we aren’t just taking them for any little sniffle)
Depending on if we know what your underlying gut microbiome looks like before antibiotics, we may recommend a probiotic supplement to help replenish what was wiped out. I have also seen people who already have way too heavily populated levels of bacteria(both good and bad) so we don’t always need to give a probiotic.
Something we can all do regardless of wha our gut environment looks like is intentionally focus on lot of probiotic rich foods. Yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, etc. my two favorites for the sake of ease and taste to recommend are cocojune yogurt and kefir. Both have a high amount of probiotics in a serving.
If you’ve been on antibiotics and can’t seem to get your digestion back quite right afterwards- comment PROBIOTIC so we can have a conversation if comprehensive stool testing would be a good next step for you.
