The real information is to ask your doctor and be careful with advice from social media.
That’s wrong. Stop confidently spreading harmful misinformation. I already provided citations that you should have checked before making that statement: humanmicrobiome.info/antibiotics/

I would like to point out, the NYT is a reputable news site but cannot even remotely be trusted with medical information/recommendations. I can’t tell you the last time I read a medical news piece from any source (and the NYT is the primary place I get my news) that I couldn’t read it and say “well that’s a gross oversimplification” or worse “this is blatantly misrepresenting the scientific author’s conclusions”. Holding up the NYT as a source of medical/scientific truth is just demonstrating how scientifically illiterate you really are.

Wow, projecting hard with that comment. This is a fantastic and well-cited article, and your comment does nothing to debunk anything in it, and you end with a baseless “you’re scientifically illiterate” comment. Amazing.

That is not a website doctors look at. Medical procedures are formed and approved through NIH articles with vast testing pools across many geographical areas.
If you would like more info, please look up the IDSA guidelines

Wrong. Also irrelevant. It contains a plethora of scientific citations, which is all that matters.
Gibberish that tells me you don’t know what you’re talking about, but want to sound authoritative.

I’m letting you know that those links are all to small journals. Good luck getting huge corporations to follow that advice versus tried and true advice. I rather a patient live than risk the infection returning and killing them.
It’s not invalid but until IDSA adopts any of that… it’s not medical advice for anyone, just research.
