Antibiotic Resistance and Side Effects

I have experienced terrible "gut" related problems after daily ingestion of antibiotic (erythromycin); including weight gain, constant constipation with brief episodes of diarrhea only to be immediately followed by more constipation. Several episodes of yeast overload in gut as well as an increase in bouts of thrush which is due to the destruction of good bacteria in the gut. No amount of probiotics has had any impact of consequence. Many, many studies of antibiotic resistance and other negative, life time issues have been conducted but my pulmonary dr seems oblivious to them. Any suggestions... has anyone else dealt with this?
