    Hey @Sara,

    I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you are recovering well!

    Since you have been treated with antibiotics, your microbiome can use some love and support. You’re right! Probiotics are a good choice! Foods that contain probiotics are still the best choice I think. Foods that contain probiotics are for example kefir, kimchi, kombucha, sauerkraut and beet kvass. The B Better library contains recipes you can use to make these probiotic-rich foods yourself (just click here).

    If you like to use supplements, choose a broad-spectrum probiotics formula. Supplements I recommend to my clients are for example Metagenics UltraFlora Biome Pro. A second one I could recommend is a soil-based product called Megaspore by Microbiome Labs.

    Since antibiotics do kill bacteria but have a lesser impact on the yeast living in the gut, this yeast could start to overgrow. To prevent this from happening you can combine your probiotics supplement with a supplement that contains the beneficial yeast Saccharomyces Boulardii.

    If you have decided to use foods: foods often already contain S. Boulardii, so you don’t have to worry about that.

    Be aware that after a round of antibiotics, it can take a few months before balance is restored in the microbiome.

    Immune support & coughing remedies
    The B Better library also contains a handout full of tips & protocols that you could use (it’s called “B’s Medicine Cabinet Must Haves”). There is a recipe containing honey that could help if you’re still coughing for example. The handout also contains an immune boosting protocol.

    I hope these tips help and you’ll feel better soon.

    Thank you sooo much Daniel – You made my day!. I will order the probiotics now. How long should I be on them and how many pills per day? Should it be before or during meals? – I hope they don’t have the effect of Constipation or Bloating. – Do you recommend also Thorne’s Probiotics ? – https://www.thorne.com/products/set/probiotics – Do these need to be refrigerated?
