How could antibiotics killing bacteria in the large intestine cause vitamin loss and diarrhea?
The antibiotics kill large numbers of the intestine's normal bacteria, and the body tries to counteract the attack by flushing the intestines (diarrhoea). It becomes difficult for the intestines to absorb nutrients properly, and the body loses a lot of water. Once the antibiotics course ends, the surviving bacteria recover and start to multiply until the original balance is restored.
