If you have recently taken antibiotics for an infection, your intestine may still be cured, even if you feel fine. Antibiotics do not only kill harmful bacteria, they also erase many supportive people in your intestine, sometimes leading to problems like blotting, diarrhea or indigestion.

A new study by researchers at the University of Chicago found that what you eat after taking antibiotics may soon help cure your intestine. It turns out that fat in fat and low in fiber, scientists, called “Western diets”, can do more harm than the best.

“The mammal intestine microbiom is like a forest. When antibiotics damage, a specific recovery process is required, just as a forest becomes a gater again after the fire.

The study published in Journal Nature used mice to test how different diets affect the intestine after antibiotic use.

A group of mice ate a western -style diet (high fat, low fiber), while the other ate a fiber -containing diet similar to the Mediterranean diet.

Both groups were given antibiotics. Later, the researchers tried to recreate their intestine bacteria using feces microbial transplant (FMT), a method where healthy intestine bacteria are introduced into the intestine from other mice.

The results were clear: mice recovered much better on fiber-rich diet. Their intestine bacteria jumped back, with a return with different types of germs.

But unhealthy western diets failed to recover properly, and new bacteria simply did not survive. Worse, those mice also became more vulnerable to infections such as Salmonella.

Although the research was held on mice, scientists believe that it may also apply to humans, especially surgery, cancer therapy, or intensive antibiotic treatments after transplantation.

Dr. Chang said, “It opens the door to use the diet as a tool to restore the health of the intestine. Food can be determined. What you eat can directly affect which intestine bacteria grow and how good your body is,” Dr. Chang said.

In other words, eating more plants-based, fiber-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains after antibiotics can support not only the recovery of the intestine, but can also improve your overall health.
