Is that a direct quote from a research paper? It seems awfully confused. Are you able to substantiate that statement because it goes against the grain of advice offered by GPs

No, it is not a direct quote. But, the information was found by reading a research paper. In fact, a few different research papers address this from different angles and come up with the same results.

Here is a direct quote "Compared to spontaneous post-antibiotic recovery, probiotics induced a markedly delayed and persistently incomplete indigenous stool/mucosal microbiome reconstitution and host transcriptome recovery toward homeostatic configuration,"

Yes, it goes against the grain of what GPs and many others claim.

My general surgeon knows it is true. She said to not waste money and effort with probiotics after or during a course of antibiotics after surgery.

The best treatment is autologous fecal microbiome transplant. Restore your gut flora with your own gut flora.

Some of us do know what we are talking/posting about.

The study results do fit with normal logic when you stop to consider it.

Just an FYI that our physicians have also always recommended using natural probiotics like organic kefir and pure, plain yoghurt, sauerkraut etc - this includes using them as gut biome restoratives when taking antibiotics. We were also told they should be used approx 2 hours after the antibiotic dose.

One of my family members deals with Crohn's Disease, and has from the outset been told to avoid those probiotic supplements, which seem to irritate his GIT intensely, and stick with the kefir, yoghurt and fermented foods, which he tolerates well.

Yeah !

kefir, yogurt, and fermented foods.
