A member asked:
Can malabsorption result from use of antibiotics? if so, how long after the discontinuation of the antibiotic before it resolves?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotics: In healthy individuals gut flora should get better when antibiotic is stopped but a lot of times few organisms are not restored even after months of stopping the antibiotic. So please avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics.
