@dribbles I've had 3 transrectal biopsies and will not have another, but I've never questioned or been concerned about having the oral and IM antibiotics prescribed by my doc. I know there is concern about developing an immunity to them, but I've not heard the phrase 'preserve my biome'. Can you explain why this is a concern for you?

@twhite33
thanks for response.
Its not the immunity issue for me.
I'm not an expert on gut health but I have consciously been working on my diet this past year with lots of attention paid to intake of fiber, and foods that promote a good bacteria community in my intestines. I dont do supplements its all fruits , vegetables, fat free yogurt , omega 3 foods, low sugar ,etc. I feel so much better since I started this. The "gut health" craze is growing and I'm not really into all the propaganda but I do know my gut has to be in really good shape and I dont want to wipe it out if I dont have . It takes a couple months ( I've read on the internet haha) to restore. Now, I may be heading for use of more antibiotics if my biopsy reveals significant disease, but if not, I would prefer to remain intact.
