I don’t think we know the mechanism by which anti biotics cause growth. I personally think the parent is correct but I don’t know why s/he implies it wouldn’t work for humans. I hypothesize that gut flora eat food in your stomach, breaking it down faster so it passes through your gut before being absorbed, and by eating the nutrients themselves. If you have no gut flora, more will be absorbed by your system. I similarly hypothesize that you could do a poop transfusion of skinny people with excellent metabolisms to aid in weight loss for fat people with terrible metabolisms.
