Depends ...: It depends on how bothersome the diarrhea was/is and what is being treated. Most bacterial infections can be treated with alternative antibiotics, though diarrhea is a common issue with all antibiotics. But if you find the diarrhea very bothersome, then it would be reasonable to utilize an alternative.
