    no direct experience
    But I have had antibiotic associated diarrhea where I was advised to eat lots of yogurt. Seems practical I don't think I would hesitate to try it.

    Clostridium difficile
    Know to be effective if you have this bug in your intestines among other GI disturbances.

    It is a Probiotic derived from Lychees and Mangosteen but I gather from the skins so inless you like chewing on Lychee skin, the packaged version might be easier. Eating the fruit will help but get the stuff from the leaves seems to be an important conmponent.

    It certainly can't hurt you.
