What do you all know about probiotics?

9. Gut bacteria affect more than just digestion.

They can contribute to other things such as brain fog. I'm told that sugar-craving bacteria in the gut cause intense cravings for more sugary foods, making dieting harder.

You have an opportunity now to change your microbiome drastically. Those antibiotics should kill off most of the bacteria in your gut, the good and the bad. You can take in good bacteria through the foods mentioned upthread, or supplements. I don't like sauerkraut, kimchee or pickles, so my choices are yogurt and kombucha — try to find low-sugar or non-sugar varieties if sugar cravings are an issue for you (they are for me). I've tried Keybiotics (expensive mail order) and a store brand of supplements. I didn't notice any big changes, but somewhat easier digestion, diminished cravings, and a bit more clarity.
