Taking antibiotics can do short- and long-term damage to your gut health.Antibiotics might be considered a "necessary evil," because while they are critical for killing harmful bacteria, they also kill beneficial bacteria -- resulting in other undesirable side effects.
Fortunately, there's a way to restore the good bacteria balance: probiotics.

Desiree Nielsen, BSc, RD, joins Andrea and Lisa to explain why probiotics are imperative for overall health and particularly useful as a way to combat the side effects of antibiotics, as well as which strains of probiotics do what.
