A case explaining the effects of antibiotics on liver health
We know consumption of antibiotics affects our gut health and can harm our organs. So, what can we do to reduce harmful effects on our bodies if we need to consume antibiotics? Let’s understand in detail.
My client, aged 33 years, had complaints of
– Chronic acidity
– Migraine
– Weight gain and excessive belly fat
– Mood swings
– Deteriorated Hair and Skin health
– Disturbed menstrual cycle
– And more
She was following a healthy lifestyle to recover and was;
– Consuming super nutritious food
– A daily dose of supplements, including vitamins and probiotics, as advised by a doctor.
– An active life, including an exercise regime and meditation for reducing stress and anxiety.
However, despite her efforts, her weight was not budging, and she could not understand what might work.
Her Blood work showed normal parameters:
– Diabetes 83.8 mg/dl (non-diabetic)
– Thyroid TSH 4.9 mu/L (in the normal range)
– Haemoglobin 12.8 g/L
However, her SGPT (ALT) levels were elevated at 69.6 U/L (normal range 10-49 U/L), indicating liver damage.
I started digging into her health history to understand the probable reasons behind her deteriorated liver health. I found she was on antibiotics for an extended period as she had to go through dental surgery.
Upon that discovery, our focus shifted towards improving her liver health for recovery.
Suggested lifestyle changes:
– Step-by-step guidance to correct chronic acidity.
– Step-by-step guidance to recover from migraine
– Corrected protein, fat, and fibre ratio in her diet
– Focused on pre-probiotic-rich food
– Detox to improve liver health
– Corrected diet to support her hormones
As expected, she started showing positive changes just in a month. She took around 6 months to recover completely.
Long story short, “To recover from any ailment, we must know and heal the root cause. In this case, recovery was seen by correcting liver health and changing diet.
P.S. The consumption of antibiotics should be strictly like a doctor advised, and it is wise to start focusing on pre-probiotic consumption while on antibiotics.
