Intestinal Side Effects of Improper Antibiotic Use Cause, Symptoms, and Treatment Through Probiotic Food Sources
Authors
Abstract
When antibiotics emerged, they gained lots of interest on the basis that they could protect and help human
beings against a variety of bacterial diseases. These include urinary tract infections, pneumonia, sinus
infections, etc. However, they have the potential to cause undeniable side effects including the drastic
alter of gut microbiota. Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and other gastrointestinal side
effects could also result from these alterations in gut microbiota. To diminish these side effects, the use of
probiotics was proposed. Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that have health benefits for the
host by countervailing the bacteria which were lost in the gut, and they can be gained through different
resources such as supplemented capsules and foods (especially dairy products). In this review, we discussed
the antibiotic-associated side effects which can be treated or prevented by consuming probiotic foods.
