Antibiotic treatment: Antibiotics disrupt the normal gut flora. Studies have shown that probiotics can help minimize the damage to the vital bacteria that live in your gut. I would suggest fermented foods such as sauerkraut or kombocha tea. Would also consider a high quality probiotic. Dr ohirra's is over the counter and is a good choice.

Possiblely dangerous: Natural consequence of an antibiotic course can be intractable loose stools ; abdominal cramps. Cause is infestation of large intestine by clostridium difficile, a bacteria that dominates bowel colonization after antibiotic destroys natural bowel colonies. Treatment with tetracycline follows positive identification (in stool specimen) before recurrent loose stools lead to dehydration. Is not ibs.
