Gas /diarrhea: May be due to disruption of normal bowel microbiome due to the diarrhea or may be residual disease such as infectious diarrhea with camphylobacter. Would consider probiotic, Gas-x ( simethicone) and follow up with doc as may need antibiotics like zithromax. Likely will do stool culture.
