Actually it can, the antibiotics will kill off the good bacteria in the intestines, along with the bad. This can cause an over growth of yeast in your gut that travels to your vagina (or your mouth) and can set you up with a miserable case of diarrhea that will cause cramping and inflammation.

Using live lactobacillus or live culture yogurt can help to spare you from this complication of antibiotic therapy in the future.

Oral antibiotics (or IV) usually will not cause diarrhea. There are many antibiotics available for prescription. Some are oral, others are intravenous (IV). Certain classes of antibiotics will be more likely to cause diarrhea than other classes. And to make things even more confusing, certain antibiotics are indicated to treat antibiotic-induced diarrhea.

Very often yes. Antibiotics are made to kill bacteria, but while they're killing the bad bacteria, they're also killing off some of the useful ones too, such as the ones that aid in digestion. You can add yogurt to your diet or, if you are lactose intolerant, get some acidophilus tablets at any pharmacy or health food store, to replace the necessary bacteria.
