Effective Probiotics for Restoring Gut Biome After Antibiotic Use
This session discusses key probiotic strains like Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Saccharomyces boulardii, and Bifidobacterium lactis to help rebuild gut health following antibiotic treatment. Learn about their benefits and get product recommendations.
What’s a good probiotic to build back up gut biome after depletion from over antibiotic use?
To help restore your gut biome after depletion from antibiotic use, several probiotics have shown efficacy. Probiotics work by replenishing natural gastrointestinal flora with beneficial, nonpathogenic organisms1. Here are some key strains to consider:
- Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG): This strain is well-researched and shown to help prevent and treat antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD), including those caused by Clostridium difficile2.
- Saccharomyces boulardii: A beneficial yeast that has demonstrated effectiveness in preventing AAD and helps to combat C. difficile infections2.
- Bifidobacterium lactis: Known for its ability to improve gut health and restore the balance of gut bacteria after antibiotic use3.
Additionally, incorporating a diverse range of probiotic strains can be beneficial for overall gut health and microbiome diversity3.
