Antibiotics

Sometimes you just can't get around it: antibiotics. They prove to be important and correct when it comes to diseases such as bladder inflammation, tonsillitis, pneumonia or otitis media. But antibiotics are not harmless everyday helpers - they are powerful medication that can both bring about positive and challenges. You can find out why this is the case and how you can support your body during and after an antibiotic treatment.

What are antibiotics?

👉🏼 Antibiotics are medication that kill bacteria or inhibit their increase. This means that you are indispensable when your body fights with bacterial infections. Without antibiotics, many diseases that are easy to treat today would be again life -threatening. Sounds like a miracle of medicine, isn't it? But this miracle weapon also has its dark sides.

Not just against the "bad" bacteria

The problem with antibiotics is that they do not distinguish between "good" and "bad" bacteria. Our intestine is home to trillions of microorganisms that not only support our digestion, but also strengthen our immune defense. However, antibiotic therapy often destroys a large part of these protective bacteria, which can lead to so-called dysbiosis.

Possible consequences of antibiotic treatment

The side effects of antibiotic treatment are diverse and can have short and long-term effects on your body:

🔴 Dysbiosis
An imbalance of the intestinal flora is called dysbiosis. Complaints such as flatulence, abdominal pain or diarrhea can occur. The intestine also plays an important role in nutrient absorption. If the balance gets out of the joints, it can happen that you no longer take all the important vitamins and minerals out of your food. You may notice that from a general feeling of fatigue or weaker physical performance.

🔴 Candidosis
In a healthy intestine, the good bacteria ensure that everything stays in balance - even the amount of mushrooms such as Candida, which naturally occur in the human body. If these bacteria are greatly reduced by antibiotics, Candida can take control and multiply unhindered. The result is a so -called candidosis. This fungal infection can affect the entire digestive tract and be very uncomfortable. Symptoms such as constant cravings for sugar, flatulence or even skin problems could indicate such an overgrowth.

🔴 Weakened immune defense
Did you know that a large part of your immune system is sitting in the intestine? The microorganisms there are like an army that protects the body from intruders. If this army is weakened by antibiotic therapy, this can have serious consequences. The defenses are no longer as strong as before, and you could be more susceptible to infections - sometimes even months after the treatment has been completed. This can become a real problem, especially in the cold period.

🔴 Digestive problems
Have you ever heard of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)? Or from the dangerous infection with Clostridium difficile? Both diseases are related to frequent or improper intake of antibiotics. Clostridium difficile in particular can be very persistent and lead to strong diarrhea, which is difficult to treat. So taking antibiotics is by no means risk -free, especially if you need them more often.

🔴 Intolerance
If the microbiome comes out of balance, intolerances can also arise, for example histamine intolerance. An intact intestinal mucosa binds histamine and other biogenic amines. In the case of a disturbed intestinal mucosa, the enzyme dao is often missing to reduce histamine.

The risk of antibiotic resistance

Unfortunately, antibiotics are often too light -hearted or miscalculated, and that has consequences. Develop more and more bacteria Resistance, that is, they will insensitive Against these medication. And when that happens, we are with some Infections with great challenges.

Help antibiotics Only against bacteria. That is often misunderstood. Many colds, cough or the flu are from Virus Triggered - antibiotics do nothing at all. If they are still used, it only promotes the Development of resistance and ensures unnecessary Side effects. Therefore, it is so important that antibiotics are only used if they are really needed.

👉🏼 But what exactly does antibiotic resistance mean?

Bacteria are adaptable. They develop by chance Characteristicsthat you protect against antibiotics. Some types of bacteria can even produce fabrics that simply the antibiotic ineffective make. It becomes particularly stubborn when a bacterium is resistant to several antibiotics - then one speaks of Multi -resistant pathogens. Resistance formation does not happen overnight. In the past, many of these bacteria were still sensitive to antibiotics, but due to frequent and sometimes improper use, the resistant germs gained the upper hand. Antibiotics kill the sensitive bacteria, but the resistant bacteria survive and can then multiply unhindered. If you then with such a resistant germ infected, the treatment becomes much more complicated.

This is of course particularly problematic in Hospitalswhere antibiotics are often used. Resistant bacteria can spread quickly there. Hygiene measures Like wearing gloves, mouth protection and thorough disinfecting, are crucial here to keep such germs in check. But also outside of hospitals you can meet resistant bacteria, for example with certain Skin or intestine infections.

👉🏼 And what is done about it?

In Germany are antibiotics prescription, and that's a good thing. Doctors are responsible for ensuring that one bacterial infection is present before you prescribe an antibiotic. An antibiogram should be made to select the right means. This tests the effectiveness of different antibiotics against the bacteria. Often the simplicity will only be Broadband prescribed. So always ask your doctor directly for one Antibiogram. The doctor then selects the correct dosage and the necessary duration. It is important that you stick to the instructions when taking it - even if you feel better, you should not cancel the treatment. This could give the resistant bacteria a chance to survive and spread.

Even in the Agriculture and veterinary medicine Antibiotics are used, and this is another area in which a conscious handling is important. Because resistant germs can also spread through food or the environment.

Why probiotics are so important

During and after antibiotic therapy you can do a lot to support your body-and come here Probiotics into play. Probiotics are living microorganismswho help the To rebuild intestinal flora. You are almost that "Good bacteria"that restore the balance in the intestine and make it more resistant. But be careful, Not every probiotic is also suitable for histamine intolerance! The bacteria live with us in symbiosis. They use us in many ways and we feed them. They live in different places in the intestine: that's how they are Lactobacilli mainly stationed in the small intestine and the Bifidobacteria Live and work primarily in the large intestine. It is particularly important for you that probiotic bacterial strains interact in three different ways with histamine: you can form or lower it and you can be neutral.

Our "bacteria sensitive"

  • Histamine arm laboratory test
  • fructose -free
  • lactose -free
  • gluten -free
  • vegan
  • With L-glutamine
  • free of artificial flavors
  • free of preservatives

👉🏼 When developing the intestinal bacteria, we have our years of experience incorporate in the area of ​​histamine intolerance.

A special one Dear bacteria preparation for people with HIT makes sense and can one good support be. That is why we have taken care of the selection of the trunks that No histamine artists are included. The histamine -reducing tribes B. Infantis and B. Longum are particularly contained and the neutral stems B. Bifidum, B. Breve, B. Lactis and L. Gasseri, L. Rhamnosus and L. Salivarius. So you are on the safe side when it comes to choosing the trunks.

A Probiotic Also becomes always together with a prebiotic made. That also makes sense, because that's how they get Microorganisms basically supplied your food. If you have arrived at the destination, you can start working. The only problem is: Many prebiotics can trigger or reinforce flatulence. That may not be that bad for people without intolerance. For you, however, it may be too much of the stress.

👉🏼 Prebiotics are, for example: inulin, nutriosis, acacia fiber, rice strength, Jerusalem artichoke

Particularly Inulin Could be problematic for you. You can try to sneak it very slowly. Sometimes it works, but people with HIT in particular find it difficult to do so.

In summary: apply antibiotics correctly

Dealing with antibiotics requires care. Here are some tips on how to minimize side effects:

  • Only use in bacterial infections: antibiotics do not help against viruses (e.g. with colds).
  • Have an antibiogram for a targeted preparation
  • Medical instructions follow: adhere to the dosage and duration of the treatment.
  • Take probiotics: It is best to start with a probiotic during therapy to protect your intestinal flora.
  • Healthy eating: Support your intestine with balanced, fiber -rich food
  • Do not do alcohol: alcohol can affect the effects of antibiotics and increase side effects.
