    Natural Antibiotics Question

    So I had a stubborn eye infection which the doctor suggested antibiotics for. I didn't want to take them so I took natural antibiotics instead. Oregano oil, coconut oil and grapefruit seed extract.

    I took all those and the infection seems to have gone away. However I've felt like shit the last couple of days. Fatigue, weakness, headaches etc. I'm assuming these are die off symptoms from the bacteria dying? I'm trying not to worry although it kinda freaks me out to feel so bad all of a sudden when I was doing so well before.

    I also read that even natural antibiotics, particularly oregano oil can kill good gut bacteria as well. So I'm wondering if I should buy a good probiotic and take it for some time. Though I do drink kombucha five days a week so maybe that could be enough? I drink a bottle per night on workout days.

    Anyone have insight here? Although I feel better than i did at first, I still feel weak and have pretty low energy.

    EDIT: I already feel much better a few hours after making this post lol. Seems like this was just a hiccup. I'm gonna run a probiotic supp for 1-2 weeks just in case though.

    Also, off topic but I tried the caffeine/theanine stack today for the first time and I love it! Never tried it before but the theanine was on sale at the local health shop so had to give it a shot.
