For antibiotic associated diarrhea, my doctor tells me that eating yogurt is good for getting a lot of the good bacteria that antibiotics kill and that bananas and apple juice are good for replacing the potassium lost from diarrhea. Are there any other remedies that are good for treating antibiotic associated diarrhea?

Your doctor is right; eat yogurt to replace the bacteria that antibiotics kill. However, it has nothing to do with diarrhea. The best thing to do is eat ABC foods, Apples, Bananas and Carrots. That will slow up the diarrhea. Good Luck

BRAT diet, Bannas rice applesauce and toast. Yogurt is definatly good to replace the good bacteria. Drink lots of water or gatorade, I mean lots. at least 3x times what you would normally drink. drink like chicken broth too. if it’s really really really bad you can take immodium but the down side is that it’s good to get it out. make a note as to which antibiotic u are on now and don’t take that same one again. Some antibiotics react to your body differently, so servere diarrhea from one may be part just antibiotic and part side effect not associated with killing off intestinal bacteria. i cannot take one antibiotic because i get diaherra so bad i end up in the emergency room and there they have given me a drug stronger than immodium AD (over the counter). i’ve taken other antibiotics and had very very mild diarrhea.
