Probiotics: You could consider taking probiotics products like kefir - which is inexpensive and readily available in most markets. You can also consider more expensive products like Bio-K which you can find in Whole Food. Try to take the refrigerated formulatoin since they tend to contain higher live bacteria count. Twice a day with meals while you are on antibiotics and a few days after antibiotics is done.
