How to bring back gut flora i.e restoring micro biome after antibiotics

Human micro biome is very important to our health.
There is no doubt that antibiotics save lives.
However in doing so they disrupt integrity of normal micro biome.
It is very important to learn how to bring this back.
Viral infections like common cold,bronchitis,sinus infections do not respond to antibiotics.
Use of antibiotics can lead to severe diarrhoea withClostridium difficile.
Another source that affects humans is that antibiotics are fed liberally to animals and sprayed extensively on produce.The trace amounts left on produce is enough to disrupt micro biome.
Even patients receiving IV antibiotics should take probiotics.
Patients who have been on lon term antibiotics show a severe erosion of glycocalyx that coats the intestinal microvilli.This then is associated with loss of brush border and marked reduction of secretory 
IgA.
If a person states they are not tolerating any antibiotics,then it is a red flag that there is some problem with the immunity.
We will start with foods that help restore micro biome.
Fish oil.zinc,colostrum,vitamin A are good first line.
Plant based medicines like
Oregano oil
Tea tree oil
Pau D' arco
Are very good for ridding the body of harmful yeasts.
Do not eat Taxing foods,like wheat,dairy,sugar,fried items.
