Acidophilus is a natural treatment...... basically it replaces the bugs which live normally in the gut... helping to improve digestion (these are killed off by illness and antibiotics).... it could certainly help a bit.. but won't be of much use in severe cases....

but it is certainly worth taking a course anytime you have been on antibiotics to recolonise the natural gut flora... and can help with heartburn...

I had reflux oesopagitis, (caused by heart burn)... had the works including gastroscopy and any amount of antacid medication....... fixed it completely with a months course of acidophilus...

it is available in any natural health shop, (and many pharmacies now too).. they should be kept in the fridge.. and get as big a doseage as you can.... I used to give it to the kids too, (slip some of the powdered form into their juice) after they had had antibiotics.....

certainly worth a try....
