A female autoimmune patient using Bimzelx learned after surgery and treatment for a deep-tissue MSSA infection with antibiotics that commercial probiotics may not always be the best way to restore gut health, support microbiome recovery, or improve digestive wellness after antibiotics
We spent a long time at the doctor’s yesterday as Alex and I gutted it out with our excellent physician (with AI assists) through a myriad of different tests.
