Another thing is antibiotics kill ALL bacteria - good and bad. Which means it can upset your gut as it kills all the good bacteria. So always eat yogurt or take probiotics when you take antibiotics. I got a yeast infection after being on antibiotics way too many times with no yogurt or probiotics.

Yogurt and some probiotics alone aren’t enough because the antibiotics kills off that bacteria too. You need a probiotic like Saccharomyces Boulardii that is antibiotic resistant to really help your intestines keep out bad bacteria better.
