Most of us have been prescribed antibiotics at one time or another to fight infection. But powerful antibiotics are likely to have an impact on the delicate balance of our intestinal flora, leading to side effects like diarrhoea.
Antibiotics also have a hidden impact on the immune system, which is why we so often get a series of infections one after the other: the immune system doesn't have the strength to battle invaders.
