A member asked:
Could recent antibiotic use be the cause of excess gas and gerd-like symptoms in someone who did not have these issues prior to using the antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes possible: Antibiotics can unfortunately kill the normal reidential "good" intestinal bacteria and cause such GI symptoms. Suggest you try a probiotic like lactinex to correct the problem. Good luck.
