Q: I was recently prescribed antibiotics and I\u2019m worried that it might kill the \u201cgood\u201d bacteria in my gut. What can I do to minimize the damage?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since penicillin was discovered in 1928, antibiotics have transformed once life-threatening infections into treatable conditions. But in the process of wiping out the \u201cbad\u201d bacteria, they can decimate the \u201cgood\u201d ones, too<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, for most people, these effects on the gut microbiome are temporary, said Dr. Tien Dong, a gastroenterologist at UCLA Health. If you\u2019re generally in good health, \u201cyou\u2019ll likely recover on your own,\u201d Dr. Dong said.<\/p>\n

Still, you can take actions to encourage that recovery. And while much of this research is limited and in early phases, it does suggest what is perhaps the most important action: Paying attention to your diet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
