After stomach flu: unsweetened plain probiotic yogurt helps restore the healthy bacterial balance to your digestive system. Follow the RAB diet first: eat plain rice, applesauce and bananas. Then try a small quantity of plain, probiotic yogurt daily as part of your diet for a few days. The veterinarian recommended I feed this to my dog as well after she'd recovered from a gastro illness.
Even more efficient: pro-biotic enzymes, available in pill or capsule form at the drugstore. They're more expensive, but you'd have to eat a lot of yogurt to get the amount of probiotics you'd get in one capsule.
My pharmacist recommended I use pro-biotic enzymes after finishing a long course of three different antibiotics after picking up a bug in Vietnam. Antibiotics can destroy the healthy bacteria in your system along with harmful bacteria, which is why many women get yeast infections after taking antibiotics.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for recommendations.
