It was normal for many on abx. Many have a lot of wieght gain around the middle. There are some that lose weight and have trouble putting it on.
The majority seem to put it on. Be sure to drink plenty of water keeping the GI flowing is very important.
Overwhelmed immune systems seems to hold on to toxic matter.

I also got this before I started antibiotics, so it's hard for me to say either way. It could be herx as well.
I also can't stand to have anything binding around my middle when this happens so it's a good thing I don't get caught out in the rain because any amount of water weight would probably make my pants fall to the ground because I wear them larger than normal. hahahaha!

Make sure you are on the sugar-free, low carb diet or you will end up with really bad yeast. It is extremely hard to get rid of once you get it!!!!

100 billion??? Jeez, I thought I was taking plenty at 10 billion. My LLMD said there is a chance of weight with tetra, which is what I have been on for 13 days, but he wasn't worried about me because I need to gain some weight.
I haven't gained anything yet, but my system seems to have slowed down and I feel a little bloated/full until I manage to go to the bathroom.
I hope things get better for you Mami.
