Does your body produce more good bacteria after or while taking antibiotics?
It will--but it takes time to replenish the good bacteria. That's the only bad thing about antibiotics--they kill off ALL bacteria...good and bad. That's why you need to eat yogurt while you are on antibiotics. It will replace it faster and keep you from getting a yeast infection. You should eat it for a few days after you finish the medication, too.
Reply:Your body doesn't produce ANY bacteria.


Good bacteria colonies have to be acquired from day-to-day sources: food, contact with other people, water, yogurt. They will grow back on their own unless your body chemistry is off.





Some antibiotics work too well and kill off beneficial and bad bacteria. Some are more focused on harmful bacteria.
Reply:After awhile yes but, it is a good idea to eat yogurt as this helps produce it. Also vitamin K which is produced in the intestine with the interaction of the bacteria is increased with yogurt consumption too. vitamin K is essential for your blood clotting.
