What foods must i eat while taking antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Food and antibiotics: Regular nutritious diet is recommended. Be sure to take antibiotic as directed and timed with meals. Good idea to take probiotics e.g. Live culture yogurt while on antibiotics to replenish the beneficial bacteria in the colon unless not indicated for some reason.
