No pain and the stool eases without strain however stool seams very ball like. occurred after taking heavy antibiotics months ago; what will help?

Unclear ?: If you are having loose bm months after taking an antibiotic, one needs to consider Clostridium difficile infection which can be life-threatening if gone untreated. Get an appt with your doctor ASAP. However this is an answer based on my best guess re.your question. If this is not the right answer, please provide a better description of your bowel symptoms.
