Diarrhea is more common after antibiotic treatment. However I see no cause for concern at this time. If you have no urge for a BM try taking a gentle stimulant like senokotS according to instructions. Drink lots of fluids,eat fiber like veggies & fruits. If no BM take a laxative like miralax or milk of magnesia. If you have an urge &can't move, insert a dulcolax rectal suppository or fleets ene

You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health!
