Is there anything that will replace what antibiotics destroy?

All-natural plain yogurt contains live cultures that will help replace the good bacteria which was lost. You should use this as soon as you come off antibiotics.

You may also try a Probiotic supplement which would give you several good bacterial cultures. Some have as many as 10 different cultures, such as L.acidophilus L.casei L.bulgaricus L.salivarius and many others that are all beneficial to replace the good bacteria that was killed by the antibiotic. They supply as much as 13 billion live organisms and will get you back on track very quickly. You would have to eat a lot of yogurt to get that amount and it would take a much longer period.

At the same time, probiotic supplements have been avoided by the holistic community as unnatural and possibly harmful in comparison to yogurt. I would recommend the slower, and more natural method of eating yogurt regularly. Due to your question, I feel obliged to tell you what would replace what the antibiotics kill (both good and bad bacteria). The best way to regain the bad bacteria is to eat large amounts of sugar, which feeds the yeast of candida.
