Diarrhea: You may be having a complication. Work with your doctor and ask if consultation with a gastro-enterologist specialist is in order. Rule out C. def secondary infection etc.

C. difficile: When you take antibiotics over several weeks and diarrhea recurs, stool should be tested for C. difficile toxin.
