Does good bacteria restore naturally after taking antibiotics? if yes, roughly how long? i've been off amoxcillin about a week. is a probiotic needed?

Probiotic: Means for nature. It replaces the good bacteria in your GI tract and is good for you and your digestion. Peace and good health. Your intestinal flora may or may not return to balance. A probiotic is an excellent choice.
