Antibiotics fight infection, but they also kill the “good” bacteria in your gut. This can disturb digestion and lead to problems like acidity, bloating, or loose motions. To restore balance, add probiotics to your diet. Apart from supplements, many Indian foods are naturally rich in probiotics, such as: * Curd (dahi) * Buttermilk (chaas) * Homemade pickles (achar) * Fermented foods like dosa, idli, dhokla, appam * Kanji (fermented carrot/beet drink) Including these while taking antibiotics can protect your gut and keep your digestion smooth. Antibiotics cure the illness. Probiotics protect your gut.
