Probiotics gatorade: First of all, if the diarrhea is caused by antibiotics- you should take probiotics such as acidophyllis to reculture your intestines. You need to get your electrolytes back in balance- and gatorade works well for this. You may also need to use Imodium (loperamide) or Lomotil to control the loose stools.
