- Probiotics Counter Antibiotics: When it comes to a healthly gut, the use of antibiotics is equivalent to throwing the baby out with the bath water. Eradicating pathogenic bacteria with courses of antibiotic drugs also kills off normal intestinal flora. Antibiotic-ass ociated disruption of gastrointestin al flora tract can lead to diarrhea, dehydration and mineral-salt imbalance, particularly among small children.
