I see more and more people presenting in clinic with a combination of digestive complaints such as bloating, constipation or diarrhoea coupled with feelings of stress, anxiety or feeling flat.
Does this sound familiar… you get a respiratory infection, you take a course or two of antibiotics. Your infection goes away, but in the next couple of months you start feeling tired, a little bit flat or a bit more anxious than you normally would? Or perhaps as a child or a teenager you took a number of courses of antibiotics for various infections such tonsillitis, throat infections or sinus infections… and now as an adult you notice you often feel bloated, tired and stressed?
