I constantly hear about this, but I've never experience bowel issues from antibiotics, nor has anyone in my family, adults or children, from a wide array of them.

I know gut biomes must be different but they must be orders of magnitude more different than I assumed. I don't know what else would explain a little dose nuking people's gut biomes, while we experience absolutely nothing.

I was put an antibiotics for acne as a teenager. Once I stopped I had IBS, and still have it to this day. What helped the most was a fecal transplant.

Of course, going on them for years is pretty different from a course of a week or two, and different antibiotics will have different effects.

On a side note, putting people on antibiotics for years seems like a great way to turn your body into a gain of function experiment.
