It is very common for antibiotics to temporarily disrupt your natural gut balance. To help restore it, look for a probiotic supplement containing the beneficial yeast Saccharomyces boulardii or the bacteria Lactobacillus rhamnosus. Both generic strains are highly effective at reducing antibiotic-associated diarrhea. For the best results, try to take your probiotic a few hours before or after your antibiotic dose so the antibiotic doesn't lessen its strength. Please remember to drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated, and reach out to your doctor if your symptoms become severe.
