yes when you take an antibiotic it kills not only the offending bacteria but all of the good bacteria in your system as well. the problem then is with the good bacteria gone bad bacteria can get into your system when you go off the antibiotic. it sounds like you need to get good bacteria back in your system. eat yogurt with "live cultures" or find supplements that say probitoic. if you are still having problems after maybe a week call your doctor and see what they say.
i recentlyhad food poisoning. could my body have flushed out the good bacteria as well as the bad? . i feel better but i still have symptoms including:. i'm very gassy (both farts and burps). runny stool (consistently yellowish). burbling and gurgling from my intestines. frequent defecation. what can i do to get back to normal?
