A member asked:
What to do if i'm afraid of losing my natural flora and also of bowel perforation. how likely are these risks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: These are unlikely scenarios if your bowel is otherwise healthy, you do not have inflammatory bowel disease, take antibiotics chronically, or are being treated with chemotherapy. Eating sensibly allows the body to keep its natural bowel flora in balance.
