Probiotics and a healthy gut micro biome have been shown to prevent many cases of travelerâs diarrhea, taking probiotics can also treat food poisoning and help sufferers feel better quickly.
It generally takes 4 to 5 hours for the stomach to empty after a full meal and a bit less after a snack or liquid, though it varies depending on how much and what kind of food you ate. If you can, itâs easiest to take empty stomach medications in the morning, after youâve fasted overnight. After taking the drug, wait at least 30 minute before ingesting anything other than plain water, to give the body time to absorb the medication.
Many have asked, How long after taking something on an empty stomach may I eat?. We've heard five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, and half an hour. A biologist I once spoke with said that 15 minutes is the answer, but all the medical books say half an hour.
