you need a good pro biotic antiboitics kill the good bacteria in your intestines start out with 10billion active cultures no more and work your way up if... if you start with 30-50 billion you will feel like someone put a air hose up your ass!!!

this happens to me all the time because (although i have an above average immune system) my tonsels are shot to shit and they get infected 3-4 times per year (yes, i know i should remove them, but the doctors won't put it on my insurance unless i go through severe pain... I don't want to talk about. it's one of the reasons i hate doctors)... so i go on antibiotics pretty often and i experience this a lot.

stay away from starchy and refined carbs for a week... keep your carbs sources limited to fruits, white rice (this is the exception), and veggies. take in lots of psyllium husk (metamucil) (2-4 servings per day), and take some acidophillis (hope i spelled that right) for around a week.

and don't forget to drink lots of water. It usually takes 5-7 to stop the abdominal discomfort and your gas from smelling like someone opened a manhole.

Yes it kills all good and bad. I was told yogurt helps big time.....

Right -Yogurt has good bacteria but kinda minimal. good to maintain and greek yogurt which is pretty high in protien. but probiotic's are active good bacteria cultures to replenish your intestine when you have taken a antibiotic or whatever may have reduced good bacteria... Jarrowdophilus is a good one or reniewlife brand is good too

after i stopped the antibiotics i started probiotics but didnt know how much too take and yes the gas was really bad,but mine was hard to pass and made my small intestines really bloated.
