Yea, I agree. I'd also add that we know so little about the gut biome at this stage that it feels presumptuous to assume that just because the biome looked 'different' afterwards, means that it's a 'bad' outcome. Even among healthy individuals there seems to be a lot of variability in the gut biome, and I'm wary of claims that one is 'good' and the other is 'bad' without more evidence. On the other hand, seems like we can say with a high level of confidence that antibiotics are devastating to bacteria :)
