They’re back with another season packed with all things gut talk! After a much needed summer break, Sandra and Wagdy are back with a requested topic that unpacks everything you need to know about antibiotics. In today’s episode, they go through:

• What antibiotics are, their history and benefits
• The good: Indications of antibiotic use in certain gut conditions
• The bad: the side effects associated with taking antibiotics and when to call your doctor 
• The ugly: the impact of antibiotics on our gut microbiome and antibiotic resistance
• 3 foods you may need to avoid during your course of antibiotics 
• What you should eat after a course of antibiotics

The topic of probiotics also pops up as that is another area with changing recommendations. Enjoy today’s chat between a girl and her dad, one happens to be a gastroenterologist and the other, a gut-specialist dietitian.
