What to do after a course of antibiotics?

I’ve been bouncing back and forth on antibiotics for about two months now.
I finished one round of Cipro and three rounds of Dalacin. 👎
Now, I’ve got one more round of Dalacin on the horizon.

Basically, I’m wondering how to help my body recover. I’m assuming these antibiotics have wiped out quite a bit—and I don't just mean the bad bacteria, but the good stuff too.

Does anyone have any advice? Also, does anyone know what a long course of antibiotics actually does to your system over time?

Goodness! Um... you actually don't need to wait until *after* you finish your course of antibiotics to start taking care of yourself—you really should be doing it right *during* the treatment itself. I am not particularly familiar with this second medication you mentioned, but Clindamycin is quite potent, isn't it? And if it is, you might find yourself dealing with some digestive issues. A few years back, I was prescribed Clindamycin and—well, let's just say I experienced the full spectrum of side effects: fatigue, nausea, hives, even gastritis... but if I had to guess, the most common trouble will likely be digestive upset. Therefore, please, do make sure to pick up a PROBIOTIC (!). Aside from that, what else can you do? Well, try to ensure you're getting enough sleep, plenty of fresh air, some light exercise, and a balanced diet. For instance—and this is important—do not take your medication on an empty stomach, and try not to overload your system with greasy foods or heavy doughy carbs; the last thing you need right now is a bout of gastritis! You have to stay organized. While I don't know much about the potential toxicity of this specific drug, I don't think some herbal cleansing teas could hurt. Just be cautious with immune boosters; I personally don't believe a mountain of Vitamin C should be treated as the ultimate pedestal for health. You have to look at the whole picture. If you aren't sleeping, eating properly, or moving your body enough, then supplements alone won't be able to do much for you.
