Sounds like you first decimated the bacteria with antibiotics, and then made it heavily disadvantaged by eating something that preferentially feeds other gut bacteria. What was the food, out of curiosity?
- smeej 1y agoActually when I medicated it, it was with mesalamine, not an antibiotic. I didn't do anything to attack the bacteria. The meal consisted of well-boiled meat (pork/beef/chicken together, slow cooked, overnight), and carrots, zucchini, and butternut squash cooked in its juice until it mostly wasn't soup anymore.
- Llamamoe 1y agoIt's possible it still had some antibiotic properties, lots of commonly used drugs interact with our gut bacteria in varying ways. And indeed a quick search suggests that this might be the case: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5514548/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5514548/
