post-antibiotic therapy
Help! I know this will likely not be a quick fix. I finished a two week course of 875 mg of Amp-clav this past Tuesday. It was a tough 2 weeks. I took probiotics throughout but still had cramping and stomach upset. Since finishing I have heartburn when I lay down to go to bed. I have tried elevating the my head but it usually requires me to get up and take a drink of water and then stay up for a while. I eat an early (4ish) supper and haven't had anything to eat after that. I have been researching prebiotics as I am thinking I need to feed the good bacteria that I am supplementing. Also, I will eliminate milk....which is going to be hard as I do like lattes! Anyway, I have to have surgery on Tuesday as the antibiotics didn't do what they were supposed to. I am terrified of having this unresolved and being hit again with more antibiotics. I know there are fermented foods that could help...but living in a smaller town they aren't very easy to find....Would love some ideas to protect and heal.....or even some personal experience stories. I have NEVER had heartburn before.
