A member asked:
After completing a course of antibiotics for a week should i eat probiotic foods to get good bacteria back quickly or my body will make them itself?

Taking probiotics can't hurt but eating a diverse diet will repopulate your digestive tract with the "good bacteria". And no, your body does not fabricate the over 400 bacterial species that can be found. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK7670/
