A member asked:
I had a sinus infection, took an antibiotic. days 5&6 i had severe cramping & diarrhea. 2 days later there is bloody mucus in my stool -is this normal?

No: Although having mild diarrhea is not common from taking abx, bloody mucus is not normal. Contact your doctor to make sure that you don't have a C difficile infection from the abx. In the future, consider taking a probiotic when on abx.
