    Antibiotics kill bad germs, which is nice if you have an infection, but they also kill all the healthy bacteria living in your intestines (and do an especially good job if there’s no infection to kill). Most people don’t know, but you have an entire colony of billions of essential probiotic bacteria living in your gut. They help you digest food, and protect you against bad bacteria from being absorbed through the intestinal walls into the bloodstream. Most people don’t have enough of these good bacteria to start with, because of their unhealthy diets, and antibiotics can take out the remaining ones easily. Yeast can begin to grow in the gut, causing abdominal bloating and discomfort.

    Painkillers are usually synthetic opiates (similar chemically to heroine). For a wisdom tooth, I’m betting you got vicodin (?). The body naturally produces opiates in small amounts to help ease pain, and create a sedative effect. Your largest concentration of opiate receptors are actually in your gut, not your brain. Your digestion is slowed down by opiates, and you tart getting "backed up". As waste sits in your gut, it begins to be absorbed into your bloodstream, sending toxins to all parts of your body via. the blood. (I bet you’ve also felt a little run down too)

    Lets combine a yeast overgrowth, with sitting waste releasing toxins into your blood, and you have a real problem. I’d recommend a natural blood detoxifier- a shot of apple cidar vinegar to a 32 ounce glass of water, after breakfast and dinner will taste nasty, but help detoxify the blood, move things out of your intestines, and kill the yeast. Start taking a probiotic supplement (a whole capsule full of healthy little bacteria), once a day to boost your natural colony. Fermented foods will help, such as yogurt and keifer. Don’t eat refined carbs or sugars (the yeast and bad bacteria thrive on them), and make sure to get a good balance of protein, non-refined carbs and produce at every meal. Also, stay hydrated.

    some times medicines, especially antibiotics, and the very stuff commonly taken for stomach upset, can kill off the good bacteria in you digestive system. go get a 2 week Supply of that activia yogurt from Dan non. that might just do the trick.

    Antibiotics and painkillers commonly do cause stomach distress, but since it’s been awhile since you stopped taking them, I would definitely go to a doctor ASAP.
