Hello!
I have just started a one week course of antibiotics (Flucloxacillin) prescribed to treat a toe infection. I haven’t taken antibiotics in years (last time was in 2014) and am wondering how can I best support my health. I am not currently taking any supplements or other medication.
If anyone has any advice or experience they could share, I would be very grateful. I have learnt so much on this forum since joining.
I have been reading some old threads and taken away the following:
- carrot salad (which I already do daily)
- avoid starch (which would mean avoiding potatoes and bananas!)
I also came across this quote by Ray Peat: “It’s important to get some vitamin K1 or K2 when you use an antibiotic (liver or kale, or supplements)”
Other things which seem to make sense, from mainstream Internet search:
- glycine (bone broth...) to support liver health
- Greek yogurt for its probiotics
Thank you.
