Just as a counterpoint to your anecdote, I actually took a course of antibiotics for a week a few months ago and my stomach issues went away completely. Then they came back when I stopped :(

Probiotics didn't help either. Even the refrigerated ones.

Then I started drinking a half cup of unflavoured gelatin before each meal. Take half a tablespoon of the powdered gelatin, mix with half cup water, wait two minutes to dissolve a bit, down the hatch. It's helped like 75% of the way there.

Also, I started taking anxiety meds because my stomach issues get more triggered when I go out and it's early days but that may help.

Rifaximin / Neomycin has big impacts on it however I do believe if you have stress still, not got good stomach acid and / or not dealing with poor gut motility, it will slowly re-surface.

in case it helps, had a similar situation, one antibiotic helped, others didn’t. turns the one that did also had a anti inflammatory effect which seemed to be reducing a then unknown food allergy.
