You Poor thing

The antibiotics have done a splendid job at killing off your FRIENDLY bacteria (known as acidophilus) in your gut and it tends to upset the stomach and desire to eat.

Have you ever heard anyone say eat yogurt when you take antibiotics? It is because the good yogurt like Dannon has the active cultures, aka acidophilus but since you are an low carber, you cannot do yogurt right now........so instead you must.....Go to your local Health Food Store and ask for a bottle of REFRIGERATED acidophilus (in pill form) and keep it in your fridge at home. I take 2 to 3 pills on an empty stomach once a day for maintenance but you may want to take it up to 3 times a day so it will start making you feel better.

DO NOT purchase the over-the-counter, on the shelf acidophilus that you might see at Walmart or such - this stuff has very little active friendly bacteria.

Good luck to you
