A course of strong antibiotics, as many sufferers know, can successfully treat an infection but cause a troubling side effect: chronic, racking diarrhea. The debilitating digestive problem is caused by the medicine scouring away all of the friendly bacteria in the gut, leaving toxin-producing bacteria to overrun and inflame the colon, a condition that can last for months, years, or a lifetime.

Eeuuuwwww...lol. I am squeamish about this - just can't get my mind past the ingrained ukkiness of it!
For all my preference for natural 'alternative' treatments...I confess, I think I'd like the beneficial bacteria extracted, cleansed and then used!!!
