I had to take antibiotics recently and as expected, it made my stomach 5 times worse. I prepare my own fermented vegetables at home using cabbage and carrots which helps a lot. But I also take a potent probiotics supplement from Dr. Mercola which made a big difference. These bacteria has restored my stomach to normal and the amazing thing is that probiotics affect so many other things like my skin that has become much better.

This, at least, was my impression though this article makes a lot of sense as well. Thanks for posting.

By increasing their intake of foods that contain probiotics they can reverse these effects. Yogurt, sauerkraut, and kefir will all boost the numbers of these good bacteria. Just ensure that they are naturally fermented and not pasteurized. Milk is often pasteurized before the yogurt starters are added and this is fine - as long as it is not treated afterward.
