A member asked:

Could taking amoxicillin cause colon polyps to come back if it ruins the good bacteria ? or during the time the gut is rebuilding would polyps become cancerous faster if good gut bacteria is removed with the bad ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Colonoscopy: It is time for you to get a screening colonoscopy and get any polyps that may be there, removed. If you have polyps repeat the colonoscopy in less than 5 years. Do not worry about short term variation in intestinal flora. Wish you good health!
