The bottom line

Content: alcoholic beverages
caffeinated beverages such as coffee, sodas, and tea
dairy products (aside from yogurt), can cause digestive problems while taking antibiotics and may affect antibiotic absorption
fatty foods such as fatty meats, baked goods, potato chips, french fries, and other fried foods
foods or beverages high in added sugar such as sodas, fruit juices, cakes, and cookies
high fiber foods such as whole grains, legumes, and most fruits and vegetables
spicy foods that may further irritate your digestive tract
Also, try to avoid eating grapefruit or taking calcium supplements. These can both interfere with how well antibiotics are absorbed by your body, and can diminish the effects of the medication. Other self-care remedies
In addition to adjusting your diet, there are other steps you can take to help ease your symptoms. Replace lost fluids
Diarrhea can lead to a loss of fluids, putting you at risk for dehydration. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Broths or fruit juices that are low in sugar can also help prevent fluid loss. If your child has diarrhea, you may want to consider an oral rehydration solution such as Pedialyte. Use anti-diarrheal medications with caution
In some cases, antidiarrheal medications like loperamide ( Imodium) may be effective at relieving your symptoms. However, speak to your doctor before using these medications. In some cases, using antidiarrheal medications may slow the time it takes for your body to get rid of toxins in your digestive tract.
