Unrelated: A year is too long to for an effect of an antibiotic to last, some antibiotics do affect the gut in different ways, but not for a full year. Co sure more fruits and vegetables, whole grains, brown bread, avoid fried or spicy foods as much is you can, alsi caffeinated beverages, increase physical activity , good luck
