I have read that antibiotics kill beneficial bacteria residing in the stomach and intestines.

Mine have gone farther. My insides are hollow and burnt, like a dugout canoe. Raindrops and leaves find fissures in my skull and fall gently through to the sidewalk. My arms and legs make empty sounds like drums, and there is a new space between my ears in which I can store small things, like my camera and handkerchiefs.

I'm going to become a paranoid internet person who refuses to take her pills because there might be Bad Chemicals And Stuff in them.

Yeah, antibiotics can do that. It's pretty unpleasant, especially when you're trying to eat lots of food so you can get strong and feel better.
