I don't know anything about probiotics, but I would suggest the following when taking antibiotics:

1. If permitted (see directions on antibiotics), drink a large amount of room temperature water (at least one large glass)when taking each dose. This will speed the antibiotic through your gut and minimize discomfort.

2. If permitted, eat some soluble fibre before and after taking each dose (French bread, mashed potatoe or white rice). This will help you tolerate the antibiotic better ... if food is allowed.

3. Make sure the antibiotic your doctor prescribes is NOT a sulpher-based antibiotic. If it is, get him/her to switch it to a non-sulpher-based one. Sulpher is a bad thing for IBS people.
