A member asked:

Taking zpack, having diarrhea 1-2 times a day. just wanted to make sure this is probably normal and not a sign of c-diff. the d isn't very frequent.

Go back to doctor: This may well be a manifestation of infection with clostridium difficile, and if so the sooner the antibiotic is stopped and treatment started if indicated, the better off you will be. Best wishes.
