Big Guns: Good Morning! Wow, you got 2 broad-spectrum antibiotics. I am sure this will kill the bacteria that is causing your infection...unless it is viral. These 2 antibiotics also kill the good bacteria in your gut that aid digestion. This certainly would change the form and aroma of your BM. In fact, you may end up with antibiotic associated diarrhea. Eat some yogurt, to help reconstitute your gut
