Antibiotics are massively overused in medical practice. Their side effects are far more profound than most MDs recognize. We review some of these complications, especially in modifying the microbial ecosystem in the gut.            

When we use antibiotics we destroy the microbial ecosystem in the gut that can lead to overgrowth of microbes that can cause yeast overgrowth. S. boulardii is a friendly yeast that crowds out pathogenic yeast that make us sick. Overuse of antibiotics often also leads to superinfections with C. difficile that causes a horrible inflammation in the gut.      

C. diff infections are common in and out of the hospital. Conventional treatment is primitive and approaches that support the restoration of the microflora and intestinal cell metabolism are presented.
