Answer 1

Antibiotics can kill off healthy bacteria in your intestines. If you have been on multiple courses of antibiotics, you made need to replenish your gut bacteria. There are probiotic pills that you can take, made of freeze-dried bacteria that will come alive in your body. You can also eat one serving of yogurt every day for a week. This will improve your intestinal health, and help with proper food digested.

The bloating sound more like you're retaining water. Are your feet or hands bloated, as well? This is a condition called edema. For some people, it's the result of a sedentary lifestyle. If you think that you are active, but you still feel bloated: ask your doctor about it. He might suggest therapy (hydrotherapy, in the pool, for example) or medication. If you're not too active, try walking or swimming three times a week and see if you notice a reduction in the bloating. If you don't, definitely tell your doctor.
