Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Clindamycin can cause dysbacteriosis. There is no restriction in diet. As you had diarrhea you can take easily digestible foods. You can take yogurt, kefir or curd ,rice , steamed potatoes,bananas etc. Taking probiotics will help you to prevent dysbacteriosis. I would recommend sacharomyces boulardii for this.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
