About a 10 months into Covid I had a root canal. Up to that point I had maintained my weight. Then the year after I gained almost 15 pounds! Wtf! I realized this could have been because of the broad spectrum antibiotics they gave me … killed my gut flora. And my vagina flora, but I was expecting that. I recently started taking digestive probiotics - I’m pooping more. And I’m hoping it will have a positive effect on my weight - have probiotics influenced your weight at all? I had been at my ideal weight for years. Other factors: I’m 52. Not in menopause but let’s be honest the time should be coming in the next few years! I’m also tracking my food intake so that should help.
