Final time I took them, I got a really bad stomach ache. My doctor then said he would prescribe me a different kind.
But when I went to the pharmacy, the pharmacist said All antibiotics have the same potential for negative stomach-related side effects.
Is she correct? And whether so, what are ways to help manage or prevent the onset of the side effects?

Being on a course of antibiotics can kill off the good bacteria in your intestine. This gives the yeasts in your intestine free reign. You can replenish the good bacteria by eating yogurt or taking probiotics after your course of antibiotics has concluded.
Try taking some yogurt along with your antibiotic, unless it is one you can't take with dairy products.
Yogurt will coat the belly and also prevent a loss of the good bacteria in the intestine which can cause stomach problems and diarrhea.
Probiotics are recommended to be taken with antibiotic use. Just ask the pharmacist where they keep them in the store. I think it recommends to take them fairly a while afterward so as not to counteract the antibiotics you just took. Antibiotics can be used for numerous things, but will usually also kill the good digestive bugs in your belly as well causing discomfort. Replacing them with probiotics should do the trick. Hope this helps. Oh, I've found that yogurt helps too.
