Antibiotics were a major breakthrough in medication. Overuse of them will likely interfere with your gut biome.
Look after your gut by eating a diet rich in prebiotics;
Examples of prebiotic foods include; garlic, onions, leeks, asparagus, bananas, and chicory root.
Other good sources are; apples, oats, barley, legumes, and leafy greens like dandelion greens.
These foods are rich in prebiotic fibre, which nourishes beneficial gut bacteria.
