We live in an interconnected world so I don't think there would be any localized antibiotic resistance - the effect of that will diffuse across the planet quickly. That said, I wonder what their IBS rates are like. That can't be great for their gut biome.

  My gut is only healthy when I'm mostly eating plants, it's crazy to make a blanket statement that eating plants is bad for your gut. How are you supposed to get fiber without plants?

    If it sounds so ridiculous, maybe consider that you're putting words in their mouth.

    Did the grandparent a miss a not? It seems for many people IBS is caused by not eating plants, ie. a diet lacking fiber.

    Fiber isn't essential to the human diet.

Sample size of one, but even a half course of antibiotics wreaks havoc on my wife's gut. Which is why she doesn't follow the rest of her family in popping antibiotics for the common cold. In contrast though, she had a surgical operation last year (in the US). The hospital refused to give her antibiotics immediately following the operation, saying she probably wouldn't need it. This was shocking for her - and the surgical site actually did end up getting mildly infected.

I constantly hear about this, but I've never experience bowel issues from antibiotics, nor has anyone in my family, adults or children, from a wide array of them. I know gut biomes must be different but they must be orders of magnitude more different than I assumed. I don't know what else would explain a little dose nuking people's gut biomes, while we experience absolutely nothing.

  I was put an antibiotics for acne as a teenager. Once I stopped I had IBS, and still have it to this day. What helped the most was a fecal transplant. Of course, going on them for years is pretty different from a course of a week or two, and different antibiotics will have different effects.

    On a side note, putting people on antibiotics for years seems like a great way to turn your body into a gain of function experiment.
