In the article, we will consider what should be taken with antibiotics for dysbacteriosis. Antibacterial treatment, unfortunately, inevitably adversely affects the intestinal microflora. Along with dangerous pathogens, helpers that inhabit the digestive system and contribute to the digestion of foods are also destroyed. The result of this is dysbacteriosis.

The problem is not only in external symptoms in the form of bloating and rumbling of the abdomen, pain and loose stools. But also in the fact that a toxic mixture of rotting poorly digested food and gas bubbles clogs the folds of the intestinal mucosa, interfering with the absorption of useful components from food and medicines.
