Yes: 20's female complains of "gas pains, diarrhea, stomach pains, gas" started after recent course of antibiotics. Gut is replete with good bacteria which live in symbiosis with us. Besides killing bad bacteria that cause infections, antibiotics decimate populations of beneficial ones, upsetting balance of nature in our bodies. Replenish them with probiotics: kefir, yogurt, etc. See comments:
