Brief Answer:
Temporary dysbacteriosis due to antibiotics

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and I can say that your digestive problems are due to antibiotic used. It might have caused dysbacteriosis (alteration of intestinal flora).

It is temporary, continue with probiotics and digestive enzyme and Dexilant.

Be careful with foods you consume; eat often, small portions and chew up slowly.

Increase water intake.

Wish fast recovery!
