Duration of above is about 5 months, do i need antibiotics?

Antibiotics: It is not clear what the cause of your loose stools is. Antibiotics are used when a bacterial infection has been diagnosed. Often, antibiotics are not indicated. An assessment would be needed to determine what, if any treatment is indicated.
