Answers:
Yes!. Part of why they give antibiotics to livestock is because they discovered in giving them to keep disease at bay from the deplorable conditions and crowding that the antibiotics were a growth promoter!.

I too had to be on an antibiotic for several months recently and I was shocked by the weight gain which has started to go away now that I'm no longer on it!. I also had started having ugly heartburn!.

Antibiotics kill the beneficial bacteria/gut flora that helps us digest our food properly

If it's possible, I would suggest you find another course of action that would take the antibiotic out of the equation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
