Upset stomach and antibiotics

6 replies

I've been on antibiotics for just over four weeks and have got a couple of days left. Over the last week I've been getting indigestion and reflux and just feeling bloated. I'm sure it's because they have killed off all the good bacteria because I don't usually have any problems. Is there anything I can use to help my stomach get back to normal?

DH had this a few weeks ago. He was in a terrible state.

The pharmacist recommended plain probiotic yoghurt. It contains lots of good bacteria, which rebalances the stomach.

DH felt much better after a few days.

I would not do the yogurt stuff, can be very sugary that helps breed bacteria. I would go to a health food shop and get a probiotic from there. There's different sorts for different purposes and they'll be able to assist.

I did say plain yoghurt pancakeSmile

I agree, flavoured yoghurts are full of sugar.
