Which digestion outcome accelerates when antibiotic usage alters gut conditions?

💡 Explanation

Increased antibiotic usage disrupts the microbiome where increased carbohydrate availability favors inulin fermentation because specific bacterial populations become imbalanced. This potentiates gas production and bloating; therefore, inulin's effect strengthens, rather than vitamin K production increasing or bile acids being reaborbed within the digestive tract.
