Sometimes the antibiotic gets rid of the bacteria normally in the intestines. This can lead to diarrhea. A medicine to replace the bacteria, like Culturelle, should be added. This is over the counter and a pharmacist can help locate that or a similar med. If this doesn’t help, you should see a GII doctor as they may need to do an endoscopy to look into your stomach for diagnosis/treatment.
