At the start of 2013, I shared our plan for rebuilding our daughters’ good gut bacteria after they were put on antibiotics for upper respiratory infections. I had no idea how popular the article would become. If Dr. Google were the way we followed epidemiological trends in this country, I would say for sure that the overuse of antibiotics and their after effects are of primary concern among Googling parents.
If you haven’t read that post yet, I recommend you start there. In that article, I delve into the how and why antibiotics can damage your or your child’s gut and immune system, and I give some simple ideas for repairing it. Today I’m following up that post by focusing on more solutions, i.e. extensive ideas for rebuilding your digestive and immune systems. I’m sharing a list of e-book resources to provide ideas and strategies for detoxing, meals, skincare, natural health, and further rationale for your post-antibiotics healthy diet and lifestyle.
