Cipro/Flagyl Rotation and Dairy

I always thought rotating Cipro and flagyl meant alternating one or the other, not both, for a course of treatment. That’s what I’ve previously been prescribed for pouchitis....and only for two weeks. I’ve just been prescribed both for a month. One is twice/day, the other three/day. Is this what rotating typically means? Is taking both a common protocol?

Also, I’m a bit confused about dairy in foods being ok, but not to be taken with Cipro. Does this mean I need to give up goats milk kefir for now? Or do I try and time it hours apart from the Cipro? I consume 8 oz twice/day as part of my probiotics regimen. I hate to sacrifice the kefir which I think has been helpful, but I don’t want to decrease the Cipro efficacy either.
