Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I would recommend you to take probiotics such enterogermina to reestablish the intestinal flora.
Also remember to eat small portions of food and eat often. Use small portions of toasted bread, crackers less fruits and vegetables and less fruit juices.
You can also use loperamide for diarrhea .
Drink lots of fluids and water to keep hydrated.
You also may need to do a stool culture when you finish antibiotics.
Using probiotics can't affect the stool culture results.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
