Dr. Tien Dong advises that while antibiotics can harm gut microbiota, recovery is possible through dietary attention, highlighting the gut's ability to regenerate over time.
Dr. Dong illustrates the impact of antibiotics on gut bacteria as akin to wildfires affecting forests, noting that initial regrowth may lead to less diversity in the microbiome.
Amy Langdon reassures that broad-spectrum antibiotics won't wipe out all native flora completely, allowing some beneficial bacteria to survive in hard-to-reach areas of the gut.
Both Dr. Dong and Dr. Langdon emphasize the importance of diet as a proactive measure to support the gut microbiome in recovering after antibiotic treatment.
