Hi,

A full moths intake of various antibiotics must have damaged your normal intestinal flora (Lactobacilli), that help in digestive health. This must have given all the weakness you have (lack of taste+less food intake+ poor digestion). The weakness, guidelines can attributed to all of these.
-In such a case,I would have advised -get your stools checked and consult for colonic health followed by needful treatment
-Replace Lactobacilli orally.
-Take some enzyme preparation over the counter
-Start with easy to digest nutrient food and take vitamins, proteins, calcium, iron as a supplement.
For selection of medication&dosage to suit you, please consult a gastroenterologist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
