A member asked:
Iv been put on antibiotic for kidney infection. iv had watery stools since the first day with cramps. do i need to take probiotics if so what kind?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could help: Bacillus, bifidobacterium, enterococcus, lactobacillus, saccharomyces, or streptococcus have all been shown to help. It would have been better to take it before you got diarrhea though. Saccharomyces has been studied the most.
