When I took the same anti biotic it had the opposite effect. It may help to take pro biotic with antibiotics.

I think they are all more or less the same. I used to get yakult you can get from any supermarket. I was OK with that as it is gluten free and a reasonable price, but am currently trying alflorex made with IBS in mind but Very expensive and so far no difference. We are all different I can only say what works for me.
