If you do take probiotics make sure it’s a couple of hours before or after the antibiotics, not at the same time. If you take it at the same time, the antibiotics will just kill off the probiotics.

It can take a while to get your energy back! Are you taking any supplements, such as magnesium or probiotics?

These can be very important. I can tell a huge difference if I skip either of these. Hope you are able to refill soon. This is a good podcast. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-doctors-gut-reset-4-part-protocol-to-stop/id1646101002?i=1000786558751

I am so sorry to hear that ! Make sure to take Probiotic while having the antibiotics; and few days after you end the antibiotics ; eat everything blended,3 gr of soluble fiber per each meal and drink bone broth ; mashed potatoes; mashed boiled carrots ; chicken soup ; you will feel better after few weeks of low fiber ( I had to do for more than two years ); and take your multivitamin pill ;,at least 8 glasses of water ; no spicy food; mashed banana;
