Can antibiotics cause malabsorption?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotics: Excessive use of antibiotics can eradicate the good bacteria in your bowels and impair your digestion. It may also lead to overgrowth of clostridium difficile and this needs to be treated. If you are having diarrhea and bloating, start by taking an probiotic but also see your doctor about it.
