Here is an herbal blend that you can use to strengthen and heal the gut. My little guy had a dose of antiobiotics when he was a year old and it damaged his intestinal tract so we have been working on healing them since March when we found out about it. In addition to the Happy Gut digestive enzymes from Bulk Herb Store, two glasses of kefir a day and a digestive support essential oil blend applied in the morning, afternoon and evening, we are using this gut support blend as a glycerite with each meal. You can make this into an herbal tea to drink after meals, tincture/glycerite or grind into a powder to make herbal capsules. The term "gut" is in reference to the digestive system, the intestinal tract in particular.
