š„ Antibiotics = A Bomb for Your Gut
Antibiotics can save your life when you really need them but they should be a LAST resort, not your first option!
Theyāre like dropping a bomb in your gut: they kill the bad bacteria but they also destroy the GOOD bacteria that keep you healthy. šæ
And because about 70% of your immune system lives in your gut, damaging it can have big effects.
Hereās what can happen when your good bacteria get wiped out:
š£ Stomach + Gut Problems
ā¢ Leaky gut
ā¢ IBS-like symptoms (bloating, constipation, diarrhea)
ā¢ Trouble digesting food
ā¢ More gas, pain and discomfort
š”ļø Weaker Immune System
ā¢ More infections (like ear or sinus infections)
ā¢ Higher chance of autoimmune issues and diseases like Hashimotoās (especially in people who are already sensitive)
š Lower Serotonin = Mood Problems
ā¢ Mood swings
ā¢ More anxiety
ā¢ Depression-like symptoms (most serotonin is made in the gut!)
š„ More Inflammation in the Body
ā¢ Puffiness or swelling in the face
ā¢ Joint pain
ā¢ Low energy
ā¢ Skin issues (breakouts or rashes)
š¦ Yeast Overgrowth
ā¢ Yeast infections
ā¢ Thrush
ā¢ Fungal skin or nail problems
š± If you have taken antibiotics, hereās how to rebuild your gut
These steps help your āgood bugsā return:
š Prioritize nutrient-dense animal foods
ā¢ Meat (especially slow-cooked or easy to digest)
ā¢ Ligaments, tendons, connective tissue (great for gut repair)
ā¢ Liver (one of the most nutrient-rich foods to support recovery)
š« Add gut-friendly foods
ā¢ Berries
ā¢ Mushrooms
š„ Choose fermented options
ā¢ Yogurt (unsweetened)
ā¢ Kefir
š Consider a good probiotic
Helps bring back beneficial bacteria.
š² Soothe and repair the gut lining
ā¢ Bone broth
ā¢ Collagen
š« Avoid sugar + junk food
This prevents bad bacteria and yeast from taking over.
š§ Drink plenty of water
Supports digestion and healing.
Antibiotics are sometimes necessary but their effects go far deeper than most people realize.
Use them wisely and always rebuild your gut afterwardš
