Some medications are most effective on an empty stomach, so make sure to check with your doctor or pharmacist for the correct way to take yours. However, if you find that the antibiotics are particularly hard on your stomach, taking each dose with food can offset some of the effects by acting as a cushion for your gut. Toast, yogurt, or other easily digestible foods are the best option. 6. Watch Your Portions

The antibiotics can cause major painful bloating by killing off the good bacteria that normally keeps your stomach regular, and large servings of food only make this worse. While in the process of replacing your good bacteria with probiotics and kombucha, try sticking to smaller portions of food to avoid overwhelming your digestive system and making the bloating worse while taking antibiotics. Don't worry, that burger will still be there when your medication is over.
