See your PCP: Diarrhea for a month is not normal and can be due to a number of treatable conditions the most common of which are lactose or gluten sensitivity. See your PCP (Primary Care Provider) for help. Yes antibiotics ..in fact MOST antibiotics can produce loose stools or diarrhea. Hope this helps Dr Z

Diarrhea: Diarrhea for 1 month is chronic diarrhea. Your stools should be analyzed for bacteria and parasites. Ask your doctor about the antibiotics. If the cause is unclear or if you have blood in your stool you may require a colonoscopy. Yogurt or probiotics may help while you are going through this process.
