Due to gi problem I get hospitalised and get so many antibiotics. Now m struggling with indigestion, intestinal problem and loss off appetite. What should I do?

Question

Dear lybrate-user it is common to have gi problems after antibiotics. For appetite, you can try varied foods, increasing salt a little bit ,and eating foods you feel like eating. However, you must restrict yourself to less oily food and soft diet otherwise you will not be able to digest. As appetite comes back you can add other things to your diet. You may also add probiotics to your diet like curd. In addition probiotic capsules or tablets can alos be tried for about a week. Take care.

If it is because of antibiotics then using curd helps to restore the lactobacillus in intestine and helps in digestion. If it does not help then consult for homeopathic treatment.
