A member asked:
What would soft red/orange/brown bowel movements imply? no pain involved, but some bloating and recent antibiotics started.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe antibiotics.: This could simply mean that the antibiotics have altered your normal colonic bacterial flora. You can start probiotics and see if this helps. Or you can wait until the antibiotic is stopped and see if this self-corrects. If you start getting pain or fevers, though, then you'd need a doctor's visit.
