Prebiotics and antibiotics

Just wanted to share an interesting find ( of-course from reading and then confirming with my frnz who are doctors ) ..

At one time or the other all ,especially elders might be complaining about stomach bloating, even after taking gas tablets. In the recent past I also had experience of such. I was wondering why even after eating only idly and fruits that is happening, then considerable reading on it made me realize that it is due to antibiotics I used for little throat infection ( bonguru). Antibiotics cant really differentiate between good and bad bacteria ( As you might be aware, good bacteria is very much needed for us) and with use of them , even good bacteria in our stomach/intestine would also killed. That leads to bloating of stomach..little digestion problem etc for some days till we feed healthy bacteria properly and allow it grow again to considerable extent. Prebiotic foods are those which are good foods for healthy bacteria within us. Good prebiotic foods readily available for us are ( I have removed foods which we can find only in big cities.. like itialian , french foods etc) vegetables which are grown in soil like roots, ginger, garlic, onions ,

green leafy vegetables, mangoes, bananas, apples, potatoes , tomatoes etc. Try these and avoid fizzies ..then see how bloating will be controlled :).

Thanks
