Wiped out after antibiotics

Posted , 2 users are following.

I've just taken a course of antibiotics and my body is now feeling totally wiped out. Apart from live yoghurt what would be the best things to eat to replenish my energy levels. I feel like my body is craving something but am not sure what.

    Live yoghurt is a good start - but maybe you would do better with a good probiotic? Thats a high dose of the good bacteria. But remember, you had the antibiotic for an infection - and the infection as well as the antibiotic will have run you down. It'll take a couple of weeks at least to recover fully from that.

      I will try a probiotic and see if that helps. That's true the infection might have made me more run down too as well. Will try and eat as much healthy food as I can to try and boost my immune system.

      Thanks
