Excellent question. I try to avoid antibiotics as much as I can, but got strep a month ago and had to go on clavamox. The happy flora that usually make my reproductive area peaceful are still rebuilding their population.

I recently had a serious ear infection.

I was advised that the medication given for a 2-ish week period would devastate my gut flora after week 1, and was given advice of what to eat to minimise the impact.

I take a great probiotic and eat yogurt, but that still isn't enough of a help. My poor hoo-ha situation is so upset!

I hope your ear is better. We are so lucky to have treatments that can save our lives and our hearing. Most of history didn't have it, and the post-antibiotic era won't, either.
