Bowel issues and antibitoics??

[jen74]

I have a UTI right now and also for the last two weeks have been having loose stools and alot of gas. I figure it may be from the herbal things I have been using maybe ( oil of oregeno,,and fresh garlic). these things are suppose to help prevent UTI's ( ha, ha, I guess not otherwise I would not have a UTI now). Anyhow, I have to take antibitoics( vantin) which is in the cephlosproin family. I am worried that it will really mess my bowels up ( diareaha, or that c-difficile) since I am already messed up. I am taking probiotics, and hope and pray it will help prevent these issues. Any ideas on how to prevent bowel issues and diareaha when taking antibitoics?
