Thread: Juice and anti biotics

I'm running test e, and have just finished a round of antibiotics for a sinus infection. No problems at all for me.

I actually started taking some anti acne antibiotics and so far nothing bad. I don't see why gear and antibiotics should matter. Just eat enough to compensate for the antibiotic stress on your body.

I would think if anything the Dbol would conflict more with the Anti-Biotics than the Test-E. If no one here is able to give you some solid information on it, I would go to CVS or Walgreen website and talk to a pharmacist online and just make sure they are okay together.

the thing about taking antibiotics is they kill good and bad bacteria and the good bac is used to help digest food so taking antibiotics may have a negative impact when trying gain weight. so if your taking antibiotics and your trying to gain weight you may want to research probiotics

Some antibiotics can put strain on the liver. You may want to be careful if you are using oral AAS. Other than that you should be fine IMO.

This^^^^my thoughts exactly

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Enzymes functions are to digest food. Antibiotics as the name states are to attack bacteria. You have what some people may call good bacteria in the digestive system but what that really is, is bacteria that comes from the foods we have ingested. There are not really any good bacteria in the digestive track. All the breakdown of food is in the stomach and turns to chyme. When the chyme reaches the small intestine once again it is enzymes that allow for the absorption of food (carbs, proteins, etc.) into the body.

Bahaha! I am for real laughing out loud. Gut flora plays a HUGE role in the absorption, production and break down of nutrients, vitamins and water. They're not only responsible for producing a major portion of our biotin and vitamin-k but produce some of the enzymes u mentioned. Enzymes the human body cannot produce, enzymes that are much more efficient at digesting carbohydrates than our own..... Point is strong4ever and tj are offering some very good advice. You're going to need extra water and of course some added nutrients/vitamins. Nothing major though, fluid depletion is ur main concern and IMO everyone should be taking a multi-vitamin so ur bases should be covered in that aspect. Throw in some activia when u've finished ur treatment if you want. It can't hurt u and it will def have some benefits

I understand what you are saying but antibiotics are only taken for a short period and the amount of intestinal bacteria they kill will not affect you nutrient absorption. There is such a small amount of bacteria in your stomach or in your small intestine and since your small intestine absorbs about 90% of your nutrients, and your large intestine which is going to be the most effected by antibiotics absorbs roughly 5% of nutrients it will not have a significant effect on you. The bacteria you are talking about in the large intestine does help you digest food, however if you had no “good” bacteria in your digestive track you still would absorb 70% of your nutrients. The antibiotics therefore will not kill off bacteria you need to digest food. Most bacteria also is just an aid to enzymes and microorganisms when it comes to digesting food.
