Hi
Thanks for your query.
Microbial colitis requires antibiotics to control it. It can be done, no problems with that. But this treatment may cause your good bacteria to get killed which can lead to persistent diarrhea.
Hence, some probiotics can be given which promotes growth of good bacteria and help fight bad bacteria. VSL3 is one such probiotic.
Hope this helps. I will be available for follow up.
